The Colortronic C2 Touch dosing control system is a microprocessor closed-loop control for the Graviblend gravimetric dosing and blending unit.

Data entry can be made during production by means of a touch screen. Operation is menu-driven and can be password protected.

The control offers graphical and numerical display of the operation parameters of the entire installation. In the event journal, all changes in the settings and all alarm messages are time stamped.
