AZO COMPONENTER® Step: Automatic Weighing of Small and Micro-Sized Components
Manually weighing small quantities of raw materials is error-prone, labor-intensive, and places high demands on employees’ concentration. The AZO COMPONENTER® Step automates the gram-accurate dosing and weighing of small and micro-components. This allows you to improve formulation accuracy and product safety while reducing manual steps.
Precise dosing and weighing for consistent formulation accuracy
Each component has its own scale. Parallel weighing shortens cycle times, while dosing screws with vibrating beds enable precise addition of the required raw material quantities. This allows for the reproducible implementation of recipes and the reliable design of production processes.
Traceability and Secure Batch Separation
Identifying raw materials via barcode and labeling the destination containers enable complete documentation of components, formulations, and process steps. This minimizes the risk of mix-ups and supports traceability. Consistent batch separation also reduces the risk of cross-contamination—which is particularly important for applications in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and plastics industries.
Automated Processes and Flexible Production
A synchronized carriage automatically transports the target containers from one dosing station to the next. This reduces the need for manual handling while enabling the system to handle high throughputs. The modular design facilitates product changeovers and allows for flexible adaptation to varying production requirements. The minimal cleaning effort and the optional inliners for target containers further support hygiene and product separation requirements.
