How do loss-in-weight dosing systems work?

In the past few years, technological advancements have made loss-in-weight feeders one of the important dosing machinery in the industry. Updated features such as higher speeds and torque have made these machines super-productive. Many users report their productivity levels to be up by 100%. They are the most precise dosing system. Their precision comes handy when they’re used for injection molding, extrusion application, or blow molding. These feeders are commonly known as gravimetric feeders. They can provide in-line dosing, which is vital for applying low dosage rates. Overall, gravimetric loss-in-weight feeders are preferred by experts as they offer optimal dosing processes. Here’s an insight into these machines. How Does the Machine Work? A loss in weight feeder receives materials from upstream supplies. Then, the gravimetric device precisely doses the material into the process. The rating of dosing is predetermined and is called the ‘feed rate.’ Users can fix th...
