How to achieve high levels of precision in the ingredient Dosing process?

At Clivio Solutions, we offer ingredient dosing equipment of the highest quality and technology available in the market: Jesma's Micro-dosing Systems.

Nowadays, the amounts of vitamins, nutrients, and other ingredients are increasingly important and must be met, as an excess or deficiency can lead to serious health problems in animals and pets, and of course, it would also impact the final product quality.

Jesma, a Danish company with over 100 years of experience, specializes in the design, development, production, and sale of industrial scales and solutions for static, dynamic, and continuous weighing. All of their equipment is designed and manufactured to provide reliability and ease of use. Their scales are designed to handle weighing capacities ranging from 1 kg/h to more than 2000 t/h.

In many feed mills, the bottleneck is the dosing process. How can this process be optimized?

Option 1:

Replace the simple macro-midi scale with a Double Hopper scale.
The advantage of this solution is that it can perform two operations at once: dosing into the weighing container (each ingredient dosed one by one) and at the same time emptying the container afterward. The time gained by this solution is approximately 40 to 70 seconds, which is equivalent to the time it takes to empty the macro/midi scale and transfer the batch to the next step. In most cases, this solution will also improve the accuracy of dosing.

Option 2:

Install small scales on top of the single hopper scale.
This allows for dosing more than one ingredient at the same time, reducing dosing time while also improving the accuracy of dosing for each ingredient. The time saved with this solution is approximately 10-15 seconds per small scale for a single ingredient.

What does a Micro-dosing System achieve?

A Micro, Midi, or Macro dosing system from Jesma will allow you to dose ingredients with different consistencies and densities with very high levels of precision. Particularly, the nano and micro dosing systems operate with a precision of up to +/- 0.5 grams. It is possible to dose almost any type of material with good flowability, as well as ingredients with very poor flow characteristics.

The correct dosing will not only positively impact the health and well-being of the animals but also the product, thereby influencing the economy and reputation of the food manufacturer.
