Controlling a flow of powder or solids

Continuous, controlled dosing of a specific quantity of product over a very long time.

MCPI proposes two solutions to achieve regular product flow. The continuous dosing controller with PID regulator is designed for loss-in-weight dosers. The volumetric control doser is controlled by a frequency potentiometer.

These high precision instruments are particularly easy to use and enable continuous and regular weighing from 50g/hr to several kg/minute for powders, granules and other dry products.

Combined with MCPI Fine Dosing systems, these solutions offer very high performance levels.

MCPI solutions

Gravimetric control doser – Loss-in-weight

The quantity of product in the doser is weighed continuously. At regular intervals, the mass remaining in the doser is compared with the initial mass.

Weighing scales are built into the doser chassis.

Weighing is continuous and flow is controlled automatically by a PID corrector (enables compensation for density changes or irregularities of the production process).

Controlling a flow of powder or solids; Powder dosing: from 50g/hr to several kgs/minute.

Volumetric control doser

Dosing is controlled by a frequency potentiometer, enabling control of product flow.

The high level of regularity and repeatability of the MCPI extraction system enables a relatively constant flow.

From 50g/hr to several kgs/minute.
