High-accuracy rotary dosing valve for fine material feeding

Ensure precise dosage of fine powders and granules, enhancing both efficiency and accuracy in your continuous production line.

Accurately Doses and Feeds Powder Materials

The Rotodoser from Hanningfield is a high-precision rotary dosing valve designed to accurately feed and weigh powder materials in demanding environments. This machine stands out due to its dual-rotor system—one controlled by a motor and the other by a pneumatic actuator—providing fine-tuned dosing accuracy up to ±10 grams. It’s ideally suited for applications ranging from pharmaceutical tablets and protein supplements to powdered sugar and spice mixes. The Rotodoser efficiently integrates into existing production lines with upper and lower connection compatibility and features a user-friendly HMI for setting target weights, ensuring optimal performance in both continuous and high-accuracy operations.

Fabricated from stainless steel EN 1.4404 (AISI 316L) with FDA-compliant non-metallic parts, the Rotodoser ensures compliance and durability in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, and nutraceutical industries. With sizes ranging from DN 100 to DN 300, it supports customization to fit specific process requirements. Additionally, it holds GMP design and ATEX certifications, providing assurance for safe and compliant operations. Designed for ease of cleaning and maintenance, all contact parts are easily dismantled, and a full set of documentation accompanies each unit, supporting regulatory and quality assurance needs.
