Continuous dosing of powder with AZODOS® Type P DV and DW
When processing powdered bulk materials, a consistent material flow and precise dosing are essential. The AZODOS® Type P DV and DW dosing units help you reliably feed powder into downstream production processes—either volumetrically or gravimetrically, tailored to your process requirements.
Precise dosing for consistent production processes
An agitator ensures uniform discharge from the storage tank. The frequency-controlled metering screw allows switching between coarse and fine flow. This enables precise control of the material feed and ensures a uniform supply to the downstream system.
Volumetric or gravimetric dosing
The AZODOS® Type P DV meters powdered products volumetrically. With an additional weighing device, the Type P DW enables gravimetric dosing based on the principle of negative weighing. This allows the dosing technology to be adapted to a variety of requirements—from volumetric feeding to weight-based dosing of small quantities.
Automatically control continuous mass flow
When combined with a suitable control system, such as AZO®CONT, the Type P DW operates as a differential dosing scale (DDW). The system measures the actual mass flow rate, compares it to the specified setpoint, and corrects deviations by adjusting the screw speed. During refilling, the dosing rate is adjusted based on previously recorded weight and performance data. This supports the continuous gravimetric feeding of the downstream process.
Easy-to-clean design for various industries
Extraction devices facilitate access to the dosing components and aid in cleaning. A twin-screw feeder is available for poor-flowing bulk materials. This allows the dosing system to be adapted to different material properties. AZODOS® is suitable for applications in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and plastics industries, among others.
