A vibrating bottom in each feed hopper ensures that the products are discharged reliably. Below each hopper is a type DA screener, which — as with the tablet and capsule plant — doses the appropriate ingredient as well as protecting the downstream process. Again, each dosing screw can be switched from coarse to fine metering using a frequency converter.

Setting up The Plant

An empty Batchtainer mounted on mobile floor scales enters the Componenter at the start of the metering line and moves from one metering points to the next as required by the formulation. At each metering point, a docking system allows the appropriate ingredient to be added to the Batchtainer without generating dust.

This plant also has a Man Dos station for weighing micro quantities of ingredients. In this case, the machine operator weighs the material into bags using table scales, with full on-screen guidance to prevent errors. Both the raw materials and the weighed bags are barcoded for traceability.

Mixing, Transport and Dosing with A Single Unit

Once all the ingredients are in the Batchtainer it leaves the Componenter and is transported to one of the plant’s two container mixers. After mixing, the Batchtainers with their homogeneous powder mix are positioned on powder filling lines and the finished product is filled into bags or packets. The plant has two container washing lines for the used Batchtainers.
