Automated Raw Material Handling for Toothpaste Production
The production of toothpaste requires the precise dosing of a wide variety of solid and liquid components, as well as a consistently reproducible formula. AZO’s automated raw material handling system integrates storage, dosing, weighing, and process control into a seamless production process.
Precise dosing of solids and additives
Large components such as chalk and silica are automatically transferred to internal silos via bag-dumping stations and screened for quality control during this process. Vibrating feeders, dosing screws, and vacuum conveying scales supply the vacuum mixers precisely according to the recipe—ensuring consistent product quality and minimal dosing deviations.
Flexible recipe management for reproducible production
With the AZO COMPONENTER, additives are weighed fully automatically to the nearest gram and dispensed according to the formula. This allows for the flexible production of different toothpaste formulations and ensures that batches are 100% reproducible.
Precise liquid dosing and full traceability
Large liquid components and sensitive flavors are dosed using separate liquid scales with the required levels of accuracy. The AZO Kastor process control system controls and monitors all material flows, supports traceability and tracking, and ensures a safe, transparent production process.
