Automatic minor components weighing system
Streamline precision in your production by automating the weighing of minor and micro components, minimizing errors and enhancing efficiency for critical formulations.
Automates Weighing and Dosing of Minor Components
The AZO COMPONENTER® Step is a cutting-edge solution from AZO for automating the precise weighing and dosing of minor and micro components. Designed for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and plastics industries, this system tackles the challenges of manual weighing by ensuring gram-level accuracy and reducing contamination through rigorous batch separation. Components such as pigments, APIs, flavor enhancers, and other additives are automatically measured and tracked, integrating seamlessly into your production line. Utilizing a two-tiered system, materials are stored and identified in the upper level before transfer to target containers below, minimizing cross-contamination risks and improving throughput rates. The system supports continuous, high-speed operations, fully automating processes to meet stringent hygiene and safety requirements. Configurations can accommodate various materials and product alignments, ensuring alignment with your specific production needs. Additionally, the robust tracking technology enables complete traceability for compliance with industry standards and regulations.
