AZO COMPONENTER® – Automatic Dosing and Weighing of Batches into Containers
When processing difficult-to-handle bulk materials and sensitive raw materials, precise dosing and the prevention of contamination are crucial. The AZO COMPONENTER® in a linear configuration with a mobile container automates the recipe-controlled weighing of multiple components. This allows batches to be assembled efficiently and in a controlled manner—particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
Formula-based dosing for different raw materials
Automatic dosing screws ensure reliable discharge and precise dosing, even for raw materials that are difficult to discharge. The mobile floor scale automatically directs the material to the individual dosing stations and delivers the components sequentially in coarse and fine streams. This supports precise batch formulation at a rate of up to ten batches per hour.
Low-Contamination Raw Material Processing
The raw material containers are connected to the feeding stations in a dust-tight manner via a patented docking sleeve and are automatically identified and registered. The contactless transfer of raw materials, featuring a special seal and material-specific suction, reduces dust emissions and helps prevent contamination and cross-mixing. This makes the system particularly suitable for applications with high product hygiene requirements.
Flexible batch creation and traceable processes
The AZO BATCHTAINER® collects the individual recipe components on a mobile floor scale and, once the entire batch is complete, is automatically transported to the next dispensing station. A batch report documents the assembled batch. AZODOS® negative weighing systems can also be integrated for the precise addition of small and very small quantities.
Cost-Effective Weighing of Multiple Components
The additive weighing process processes the components one after another using a single scale, rather than using multiple scales for parallel weighing operations. This allows for cost-effective batch formation. At the same time, the linear arrangement allows for the spatial separation of raw material feeding and batch preparation, as well as the integration of multiple discharge points.
