Automatic dosing of liquids
The automatic dosing of liquid is performed by the Watermatic™ and Fluidmatic™DUO dosing units, which are connected to the PLC control raw ingredient system. The Watermatic is a compact dosing unit for the dosing of water. The water being dosed is run from the Watermatic directly into the dough hopper to an accuracy of 1 decilitre and at the desired temperature.
Fluidmatic DUO for syrup dosing
Syrup is dosed by weighing with the Fluidmatic™DUO dosing unit.The Fluidmatic is comprised of a fluid container set on scale sensors and an integrated dosing pump, which pumps the precisely weighed fluid into the dough hopper.
Automatic liquid yeast dosing
Powdea Technologies engineered a special system for making of liquid yeast from solid yeast. The system included a yeast dissolving and dosing tank and a smart PLC control for the liquid yeast production and dosing.
