A Micro Ingredient Dosing System is an automated equipment setup used to accurately measure and dispense very small quantities of ingredients—often powders, granules, or liquids—into a production process. It ensures precise formulation, consistency, and traceability in industries such as feed manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and chemicals.
A Micro Ingredient Dosing System (also called a micro-dosing or micro-weighing system) is designed to automatically weigh and dose micro components (typically from a few grams to several kilograms per batch) into a mix or formulation according to preset recipes.
Storage Bins / Hoppers – Hold individual micro ingredients.
Feeding Mechanism – Usually screw feeders, vibratory feeders, or pneumatic systems that control flow rate.
Weighing Scales / Load Cells – Provide precise measurement down to grams or milligrams.
Control System (PLC + HMI) – Runs recipes, tracks dosing, and integrates with ERP or SCADA systems.
Discharge System – Transfers weighed ingredients to mixers or conveyors.
High accuracy (±0.1–1 g depending on design)
Fully automatic or semi-automatic operation
Batch traceability and data recording
Dust-free, closed design for hygiene and safety
Recipe management for multiple formulations.
Industry | Use Case |
---|---|
Animal Feed | Dosing vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes into feed mixes |
Food & Beverage | Adding flavors, colorants, stabilizers, and preservatives |
Pharmaceutical | Accurate blending of active ingredients and excipients |
Plastics & Chemicals | Mixing pigments, stabilizers, and additives |
