Dosing & Batching
Batch Dosing Systems
VOLDE provides engineered dosing and batching systems that ensure raw materials and ingredients are accurately weighed, metered and delivered to the process at the right time and in the required quantity. Our solutions cover gravimetric and volumetric feeding, batch dosing and continuous dosing, incorporating Loss-in-Weight (LIW) feeders and Gain-in-Weight (GIW) systems for accurate, reliable and repeatable material handling. From micro-ingredient dosing and major-component batching to automated material feeding and weighing, each system is engineered around material characteristics, required accuracy, throughput and process conditions. Advanced recipe management enables production recipes to be created, managed and executed automatically, while high-precision weighing, full material traceability, PLC-based process control and SCADA integration provide centralized control and comprehensive production data. The result is consistent product quality, high dosing accuracy and efficient, repeatable production.
Batch Dosing System Configurations
Batch dosing systems can be engineered in different configurations according to process requirements, material characteristics, required accuracy and throughput. Central weigh hopper systems provide high weighing accuracy and repeatability, while loss-in-weight batching systems enable fast, simultaneous dosing for higher throughput. Vacuum weighing systems provide fully enclosed and clean material handling, while mobile weigh hopper systems offer flexible plant layouts and adaptable batch processing.
