LIW Systems (Loss In Weight) - Exact control of the product flow entering the extruder

Presentation of LIW Loss In Weight Equipment

I would like to present the LIW Loss In Weight equipment from the prestigious company JESMA for measuring the flow of product entering the conditioner/extruder.

As you know, the proper functioning of these devices ensures a gradual and accurate feeding of the material into the conditioner and then into the extruder.

If this equipment does not operate correctly, the quality of the final product can be greatly compromised, as density variations and fluctuations in this area are very frequent. Variations in the feeding and incorrect flow readings of the incoming product cause erroneous additions of steam and water, producing variations in the operating conditions of the extruder (SME – Specific Mechanical Energy).

A precise and reliable system for measuring the flow of product entering the conditioner will allow the correct proportions of water and steam to be added, ensuring a continuous, higher-quality process without relying so much on the intuitive adjustments of the operators.
