Precise dosing system for bulk materials
Ensure precise bulk material dosing with minimal dust, seamlessly switching between materials without residue. Ideal for high-throughput processes, it integrates dosing and conveying while maintaining product integrity, perfect for operations demanding consistent accuracy and reliability.
Delivers Precise Dosing and Dust-Free Discharging
The AZO DOSITAINER® with Discharge Base is engineered for seamless integration in automated processing environments across the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food industries. This innovative solution by AZO leverages an integral dosing screw to facilitate precise dosing and reliable discharging of bulk materials like fine chemicals and metal powders. Its frequency-controlled drive system enables accurate coarse and fine dosing, while a pneumatically operated seal minimizes dust generation.
The DOSITAINER® is utilized in various applications, ranging from pharmaceutical tablet production to spice mix formulation, by automating complex conveying and weighing processes. With a robust design adapted for continuous operation, it efficiently handles high throughput rates. The design includes an optional vibrating discharge aid and patented docking collar, ensuring dust-free connections and preventing mix-ups with an automatic identification system.
Manufactured from high-grade materials, the system is available in models that meet stringent safety standards, including options for handling flammable dusts. Compliant with industry standards, it offers minimal maintenance requirements with optional air injection points for efficient post-dosing cleaning. Tailored enhancements and comprehensive engineering support further bolster its adaptability to specific production needs, ensuring optimal performance and integration into existing systems.
