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.
