In this order, our team was involved in the creation of an automatic powder dosing line for specific products for the livestock sector.
During the design phase, the 3D layout of the entire plant was shared with the customer in its various stages of progress, agreeing on the heights of the hoppers, the positioning of the labeler and the removable dosing unit for the appropriate cleaning and sanitization operations.
Layout 3D dell’impianto realizzato
At the line entrance we find a container loading belt (cylindrical and square bottles and buckets up to 5KG) 1.5 meters long.
Followed by a two-head labeller capable of affixing labels both on cylindrical formats and on square containers with an appropriate stabilization station. It was specifically recommended to position the labeling machine before the dosing monobloc to prevent small dust particles from making it problematic to affix the label to the bottle.
The dosing monobloc, made entirely of stainless steel, is made up of two units:
Majority doser with 250 liter product loading hopper
Minority doser with 50 liter loading hopper integrated into a transport belt with load cell which allows you to reach the correct weight indicated in the individual processing recipe.
Dosatore maggioritario (destra) e Dosatore minoritario con nastro su bilancia (sinistra)
The format change is easily carried out through manual adjustments and with the replacement of the product exit cones made specifically for the different samples.
Upon specific request of the customer, the two dosing groups were positioned on two separate trolleys with wheels to allow them to be moved at the end of the work cycle and to proceed with the washing operations.
Integrated into the monobloc, there is an aspirator as dust extraction filter. This allows volatile dust to be reduced to a minimum in the dosing phase. The unloading of the containers takes place on a Ø 1,200 rotating table positioned at the end of the line.
The production speed of the entire plant allows us to reach an hourly production of approximately 700 containers per hour on the 1 kg format.
