High accuracy micro dosing system
When handling diverse ingredients, precise dosing is crucial to ensuring consistent product quality and efficiency. Our modular micro dosing system offers unparalleled accuracy and flexibility, accommodating a variety of powders and granules with ease, significantly reducing cycle times and optimizing your production process.
Precisely Weighs and Doses Ingredients
The Micro Dosing Unit from Ottevanger Milling Engineers is a robust and modular dosing system designed to deliver high accuracy in ingredient weighing and dosing. It employs a multi-bin and scale configuration, allowing simultaneous use of up to four super scales, significantly reducing cycle times. Ideal for feed, food, and pet food manufacturing, it efficiently doses powders and granules for products such as compound feed pellets and vitamin premixes. It supports integration with existing lines thanks to its modular build and easy expandability. The system’s hygienic design includes stainless steel bins and dosing screw feeders, and it offers good service accessibility for maintenance. Configurable for various production needs with options for agitator and pneumatic valve implementation, the MDU meets the demands of continuous, flexible operations.
