Automatic dosing of main raw materials and small ingredients with the Powdermatic IB200

Powders such as rice flour, salt and curing agents are dispensed from the Powdermatic ™ IB200 unit. The precisely weighed powders are transferred from the Powdermatic by pneumatic conveyors to flour scales, from which they are dispensed in a controlled and dust-free manner into a dough bowl.

Liquids are dispensed automatically according to the recipe

Automatic dosing of liquids is performed with Watermatic ™ dosing units connected to the raw material system. Watermatic is a compact dosing unit for water dosing. The water to be dispensed is passed directly from the Watermatic to the dough hopper to the nearest 1 deciliter and at the desired temperature.

Prescription control ensures accurate dosing

According to product recipes, the recipe dispensing system dispenses 7-10 pieces of 200 liter dough per hour. Active dosing accuracy maintenance automation monitors dosing accuracy and raw material inventory. Dosing operations and raw material consumption reports for the desired period are stored in the system and can be used for many purposes.

Powdea installed and launched a new dosing system on a turnkey basis. The new dosing system was introduced on schedule.
