Dosing equipment
Remove, convey and add bulk materials with control and precisionUncontrolled unloading of bulk materials is usually undesirable or even problematic. Conveying systems, for example, can clog mixers or mills if a lot of product is fed in at one time. This is why Hosokawa Solids Solutions dosing devices ensure even, adaptable product flow, even directly from silos. In combination with our weighing technology, very precise dosing tasks are also possible. Both in batch as well as continuous operation.
The aim is to achieve high volumetric dosing accuracy, in other words consistency and reproducibility. Ideally, this goal is achieved when the dosing units, which are installed separated, are filled 100 percent and then emptied again 100 percent.
Typical examples of volumetric dosing devices include:
- Rotary airlock
- Micro-metering airlock
- Metering screws
- Vibratory metering screws with hoppers
- PreciDos precision metering device
- Scraper-equipped rotary airlocks
