    Weighing and dosing systems

    Weighing and dosing systems for bulk solids: vessel scales, silo scales, vacuum scales, continuous loss-in-weight feeders and volumetric dosing vessels.

    Weighing and dosing bulk solids

    Ingtec integrates weighing and dosing systems into bulk solids handling plants. The scope of supply includes systems for weighing and dosing as well as measuring mass flow and bulk density.

    Weighing systems

    • Vessel scales
    • Silo scales
    • Vacuum scales
    • Micro-batch scales

    Dosing and measurement systems

    • Continuous loss-in-weight feeders
    • Mass flow measurement
    • Volumetric dosing vessels with angle-of-repose compensation
    • Automatic bulk density measurement

    Dosing from big bag unloading stations

    If the entire contents of a big bag are not required at once, a measured quantity can be fed into the process using loss-in-weight measurement. For this purpose, the big bag unloading station can be mounted on load cells and equipped with a dosing system such as a dosing screw or rotary valve.

    Further configurations are described on the big bag unloading stations page.

    Vacuum scales in pneumatic conveying systems

    If a product must be weighed for formulations, the receiving vessel of a pneumatic conveying system can be designed as a vacuum scale.

    The configuration is shown on the vacuum scales page.
