AZO COMPONENTER® – Automatic Dosing and Weighing with a Limited Number of Components
When only a few raw material components need to be automatically dosed, a cost-effective system solution is required that enables high batch throughput. The AZO COMPONENTER®, arranged in a circular configuration, automates dosing and weighing, thereby supporting an efficient supply of raw materials for mixing processes.
High batch throughput through parallel weighing
Each component has its own raw material-optimized discharge, dosing, and weighing system. This allows multiple components to be weighed simultaneously. With up to 40 batches per hour, high batch frequencies can be achieved, and the raw material supply can be efficiently integrated into the production process.
Reliable dosing even with small quantities that do not flow well
The AZO vibrating floor facilitates the safe discharge of small, poorly-flowing components. A vibrating metering screw with a shut-off device ensures high metering accuracy. This allows even small, challenging quantities to be metered in a controlled manner and prepared for further processing.
Flexible raw material supply for multiple mixing lines
The storage bins, arranged in a circular pattern above a common collection vessel, can be supplied, for example, via bag-feeding stations, pneumatically fed separators, or small silos. The raw materials enter the collection vessel via the rotary/tilting scales and are then transported pneumatically to the conveyor scale or fed directly into the mixer. This enables the AZO COMPONENTER® to feed multiple mixing lines and support various plant configurations.
Cost-Effective Solution for Related Product Formulations
The circular design is suitable for applications in which the blending of related products is permitted. This provides a cost-effective solution for automatic raw material dosing when a limited number of components are being processed and complete separation of all product streams is not required.
