Automated Bulk Material Handling with the AZO DOSITAINER®
The AZO DOSITAINER® with feeding station combines mobile bulk material handling with automated dosing. As a transport and storage container with an integrated dosing screw, the DOSITAINER® can be directly integrated into automatic conveying and weighing processes. This allows bulk materials to be flexibly supplied at moderate throughput rates and automatically fed into the subsequent process.
Quick product changeover without intermediate cleaning
The integrated dosing screw remains part of the DOSITAINER® and is replaced along with the container during a container change. This eliminates the need for intermediate cleaning of the dosing component when switching bulk materials. This reduces manual effort and enables a quick product change. The optional cleaning mechanism at the screw outlet further aids in cleaning the outlet area after the dosing process.
Precise dosing even at high throughput rates
A frequency-controlled drive with coarse/fine metering enables precise metering even at high throughput rates. The pneumatic shut-off at the screw outlet prevents product from trickling out. This ensures high weighing accuracy in the subsequent conveying or weighing process.
Low-Dust and Safe Bulk Material Handling
The patented docking collar connects the DOSITAINER® to the feeding station with minimal dust generation. This reduces dust emissions during emptying. An optional vibration assist improves discharge and thus also ensures reliable emptying of bulk materials.
Reliable Raw Material Identification and Batch Traceability
An optional automatic identification system prevents DOSITAINERN® from being mixed up. At the same time, raw materials can be uniquely identified, and batches can be tracked and documented. This supports a controlled and traceable supply of raw materials in automated processes.
Models for Different Dust Requirements
Two drive concepts are available to meet different explosion protection requirements: a standard version for combustible dusts with a minimum ignition energy ( MZE ) of ≥ 3 mJ, and an optional version for highly flammable dusts with 1 mJ ≤ MZE < 3 mJ. This allows the feeding station to be adapted to the specific bulk material and process requirements.
