From Moretto’s Contex brand, the Gramixo is a continuous loss-in-weight batch blender able to handle up to six components. The free weighing inclined mixer ensures proper mixing of all ingredients. Extreme dosing precision is guaranteed by the exclusive double eyelid shutter device that allows dosing control in just 25 ms; a reaction time said to be 10 times faster than traditional systems on the market.

Thanks to the VIS (Vibration Immunity System), a special control algorithm that identifies and smooths out dosing peaks caused by system vibrations, Gramixo can be installed directly on the extruder with the certainty of keeping the weight per meter ratio set constant throughout the process.
The supplied 10-in. touch view control with icon-based interface allows an easy and intuitive management of the dosing process.
