Continuous dosing solids

Sobatech’s flat-bottom dosing hoppers represent the most accurate feeding technology available today. Engineered for highly precise and continuous ingredient delivery, the system integrates advanced hopper design, gravimetric dosing, and open software control to ensure optimal flow stability, exact dosing, and complete process transparency

Capacity

Sobatech’s loss-in-weight weighing hoppers are available in a wide range of sizes and designs. Our specialists are available to help determine the most suitable solution for your specific process.

Gain-In-Weight (Refill)

In Sobatech’s flat bottom dosing hopper, the dosing screws are placed separately from the refill point, reducing powder compressibility and enabling extremely high accurate loss-in-weight and gain-in-weight dosing.

Mounting frames

The gravimetric dosing hopper is mounted on a stable U-frame that is by means of shock mounts connected to the platform structure. This ensures the dosing system is isolated from the remaining parts of the process.

Technical specifications

Sobatech only works with gravimetric feeders which constantly measure the weight reduction per time unit. The weight is measured by using (digital) load cells; the foundation of the entire feeding system. The motor automatically alters its speed when a change is detected in the material flow. By running feeders in gravimetric mode, possible underlying variations in bulk density or screw flight loading are automatically corrected for and an extreme high dosing accuracy is achieved.

Sobatech developed its own tailor made open source software to control its feeders and other hardware involved in the continuous dosing of the ingredients. In Sobatech’s feeding technology there are no hidden programs nor protected passwords. The complete system is open and easily accessible.

  • Prevents flow through feeder challenges: the flat bottom dosing hopper design prevents flow through feeder challenges like arching and bridge
    building.
  • Prevents compressibility: the flat bottom dosing hopper design prevents compressibility of the powders as a result of the increased headload after refilling.
  • Extreme high accuracies: Sobatech’s gravimetric feeders ensure extreme high accuracies during both loss-in-weight as well as gain-inweight operation. This as result of hopper design and software programming.
