Dosing station for liquid raw material components

Our dosing station for liquid raw materials makes your weighing more efficient. In pharmaceutical and cosmetic plants, weighing according to the recipe is part of daily batch preparation. The dosing station automates this step, avoids weighing errors and increases process reliability.

Up to 15 raw materialsOne dosing head for many liquid components.
ERP integrationRecipe data sent straight to the scale.
ATEX designAlso available in explosion-proof design.

Why a dosing station?

Without fully automatic dosing in the process plant, weighing used to be manual work. The greatest effort arises with raw materials that are needed often, but only in small quantities. So much of the work is spent on substances that make up only a small share of the total product. That is why SEEFRIED developed an easy-to-use dosing station for liquid components.

Main advantages at a glance

  • Rationalisation and greater efficiency in weighing
  • Avoidance of weighing errors
  • Higher process reliability
  • Automation and data integration, which improves stock management

How the dosing station works

  1. 1Supplying raw materialsPumps feed the liquid raw materials from storage tanks or IBCs via pipelines to the scale.
  2. 2Positioning the dosing headThe dosing head with up to 15 valves moves on a vertical axis to the height of the container. An optional cross axis serves a second scale.
  3. 3Taking over the recipeOperation is via a touch panel. Optionally, an interface transfers the quantities straight from the ERP system.
  4. 4Dosing accuratelyThe scale value controls the quantity, taking overrun times into account. A correction factor adapts the accuracy to each raw material.
  5. 5LabellingIf required, a label or barcode printer prints the container labels.

Complex handling, transporting raw materials to the scale and returning them to storage are no longer necessary. The result is much more efficient weighing.

Frequently Asked Questions about the dosing station

What does the dosing station for liquid raw materials do?

It doses up to 15 different liquid raw materials via a pipeline system directly into containers on the scales – according to the recipe. Manual handling and transporting raw materials to the scales are no longer necessary.

What are the benefits of the dosing station?

More efficient weighing, avoidance of weighing errors, higher process reliability as well as automation and data integration – with positive effects on inventory management.

Can the dosing station be connected to an ERP system?

Yes. Optionally, raw material quantities according to the recipe are transferred from the ERP system to the scale control via an interface. A label or barcode printer can be connected.

Is an explosion-proof version available?

Yes, the dosing station is available in an explosion-protected design according to ATEX regulations.

Is the dosing station customized?

Yes. We deliver a dosing system tailored to your requirements as a turn-key solution, including tank farm, IBC and pipeline connections and feed pumps.
