They are metered into the PET stream just above the feed throat of the injection molding machine or extruder, using a Avient supplied ColorMatrix liquid metering system.

The preferred approach is with the blender mounted above the feedthroat of the molding machine.

Once connected, FlexOne self-calibrates its output and then tracks the input signal from the host machine allowing the unit to accurately meter the required color or additive for the process.
