Fully automatic batch scale for powdery and granular products
Achieve precise and repeatable dosing for powdery and granular materials, ensuring optimal product compositions and process stability in demanding production environments.

Ensures Precise Dosing and Consistent Material Flow
The MSDM, MSDC, MZAL, MSDH, and MSDI from Bühler are fully automatic loss-in-weight scales designed specifically for accurate dosing of both powdery and granular products. These machines are integral to achieving high precision in industries such as food, feed, cosmetics, and advanced materials by ensuring consistent material flow and optimal product composition. With capacities ranging up to 360 m³/h and high repeatable accuracy down to ±0.1%, these scales are ideal for applications including animal and aqua feed, bakery goods, and chemical processing. Their mild steel platforms provide robust operation and high safety standards for food applications. The scales are engineered for easy integration with PLC control systems, enabling seamless addition to existing production lines and offering energy efficiency improvements due to their optimized dosing processes. Bühler offers customization options to align with specific process requirements, along with comprehensive engineering support to facilitate installation and maintenance.
