AZO COMPONENTER® with synchronized operation – Automatic and precise weighing of small components
When a large number of small components need to be weighed quickly and with high precision, reliable processes and accurate raw material allocation are essential. The AZO COMPONENTER® automates the cycled weighing into coded containers and enables a batch rate of over 100 batches per hour. This allows even demanding dosing tasks to be handled with a high degree of process reliability.
High batch throughput with weighing accurate to the gram
The small components are weighed to the nearest gram according to the formula. Since the weighing processes run in parallel, over 100 batches per hour can be produced. This enables high production output without compromising on weighing accuracy.
Reliable raw material allocation and protection against contamination
Coded containers on a conveyor belt uniquely identify the respective components. This ensures that the weighed raw materials are directed to the correct mixer. At the same time, the system prevents contamination and cross-contamination—which is particularly important for colorants, additives, and highly active ingredients. This enhances safety in automated formulation processing.
Flexible recipe management and integration with process control
Each vessel can be assigned its own recipe. This allows for flexible processing of different recipes. Integration with the AZO process control and visualization system links the cycled COMPONENTER® to the higher-level process control system and supports the coordinated execution of production processes.
