High Accuracy in Small Quantities

Automatic micro-additive dosing systems are developed for the high-accuracy weighing, dosing, and transfer to process of powder, granular, or sensitive additives present in low ratios in the formula. Widely used in the food, chemical, and plastics industries among others, they eliminate manual errors while ensuring repeatable quality, traceability, and process safety. The systems operate fully automatically with recipe-based control and integrate seamlessly with the main production line.

| Weighing and Dosing of Micro-Additives

Automatic micro-additive dosing systems are designed to weigh and dose additives present in low ratios in the formula exactly as specified in the recipe. Each additive is taken from pre-defined bins on the system and dosed sequentially or simultaneously under PLC/SCADA control. The operator only selects the recipe; all dosing steps are managed automatically by the system.

Thanks to the gravimetric weighing principle, the system receives real-time weight feedback during dosing and automatically stops feeding once the target value is reached. This approach eliminates dosing deviations and within-batch imbalances that are especially critical for micro-additives.

• Feed quantity range: 10 g – 25 kg / batch
• Weighing accuracy: ±0.5% or 5 g
• Custom micro-screws for free-flowing or difficult-flowing powder additives
• Gain-in-weight and loss-in-weight dosing options

This structure ensures repeatable recipe accuracy even at high production speeds.

| Central Weighing and Feeding to the Main Process

The dosed micro-additives are combined at a central collection point. This point can be designed as a weighing hopper, collection bin, or weighing bucket. Each additive is transferred to this central vessel in the order specified in the recipe, and once the batch is complete, it becomes ready for process transfer.

Once weighing is complete, the additives are transferred to the main process via vacuum or pressure pneumatic conveying systems. The additives are drawn into the main cyclone and fed into the mixer in a controlled manner, incorporated into the mixture in sync with the main raw materials.

• Orderly, controlled feeding via a collection belt or collection screw
• Long-distance transfer capability via the main cyclone + pneumatic conveying
• Reduced dust emissions and product losses thanks to the closed system
• Hygienic and safe additive transfer

This approach guarantees that micro-additives are taken into the process on time, in full, and homogeneously.

| Modular and Compact Design

Automatic micro-additive dosing systems are easily adapted to different production scenarios thanks to their compact structure and modular design approach. The system is typically configured with 2 to 16 additive bins and offers circular or linear layout alternatives.

Bins can be fed via manual bag filling, big-bag filling, or pneumatic filling systems. Level sensors continuously monitor material status, allowing the process to continue without interruption.

• 200 – 500 liter bin volumes
• Dosing screws of different diameters and capacities
• Vibrator, flow-aid, and filter integrations
• Scalable structure open to capacity increases and the addition of new additives
• Structure compliant with food and ATEX standards

The entire system operates as part of the production line, ensuring high accuracy, process safety, and long-term operational efficiency.

_ Recipe Confidentiality and Access Rights

On the operator screen, dosing quantities are shown as a bar/level rather than a numerical value. The recipe formula is kept confidential, and only authorized personnel can access the system.

_ Ready for Adding New Additives

The system supports adding dosing modules later on for new micro-additives and increasing capacity needs.

_ Full Compliance with the Recipe

Additives are dosed according to the recipe without operator intervention. Incorrect material, incorrect quantity, and sequencing errors are prevented by the system both physically and through software.

| Recipe-Based Automation

All dosing steps are managed by the automation system into which the recipes are loaded. For each micro-additive, the dosing order, quantity tolerances, and weighing approval criteria are defined in software. The system does not allow progress outside the defined tolerances and preserves batch integrity.

• Recipe-based automatic dosing sequencing
• Alarm and lockout for out-of-tolerance dosing
• Batch-based weighing and dosing records
• Monitoring and reporting via SCADA
• Data integration with ERP / MES systems

This approach systematically eliminates the risk of incorrect additives and incorrect quantities.
