Batch automation system for fast and precise weighing
Achieve unmatched precision and speed in batch processing with this advanced system, optimizing the weighing and dosing of multiple components to reduce contamination and enhance efficiency in your production line.
Automates Precision Dosing and Weighing Operations
The AZO ShuttleDos® from AZO GmbH & Co. KG is a high-speed batch automation system designed to enhance precision dosing and weighing operations. This solution utilizes mobile AZO® ShuttleTainers and MIXTAINERS to facilitate rapid, contamination-free transfer and dosing of components, essential for industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals. Capable of producing 20 batches per hour with up to ten precisely weighed components, it manages a wide range of weights from 100 grams to several hundred kilograms. Integrated with powerful discharge and dosing units, it ensures efficient handling of powders and granules stored in various formats, such as silos and Big-Bags. The modular design allows for separate areas for large, medium, and small components, optimizing production line configuration. With its fully automatic, unmanned operation capability, the system significantly reduces downtime and boosts throughput. Built without ground contact, it offers easy cleaning and maintenance, maintaining strict hygiene standards. The AZO ShuttleDos® is suitable for producing protein powders, vitamin tablets, and other fine chemical products, ensuring precise and efficient material handling within your production line.
