Automatic ingredient dosing for the smallest quantities
The MicDos (Micro Ingredients Dosing System) small component weighing system automates the handling of bulk material ingredients in the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. The system is suitable for storing, sequential dosing, and highly precise weighing of up to 20 free-flowing to poor-flowing bulk materials. The modular design allows for recipe-controlled manual, semi-automatic, or fully automatic dosing and weighing of micro ingredient batches in a flexible linear layout. The main area of application is the food industry, with a growing trend toward industrial-scale ingredient systems integrated into fully automated large-scale plants.
Manual or fully automated solutions for small quantities
Depending on your requirements, number of components, and budget, we can offer you manual dosing stations as well as solutions for semi-automatic and fully automatic small component weighing:
- Fully automated solution: Sequential batch dosing from a hopper frame into a mobile hopper scale with subsequent batch transfer to a pressure conveying vessel and pneumatic transport into the production process.
- Semi-automated solution: Sequential batch dosing from a hopper frame into container on a mobile platform scale with manual batch removal.
- Manual solution (ManDos): Sequential manual batch dosing from a hopper frame into container on a table scale that can be moved along the rack.

Processes and applications

The precise solution for complex dosing tasks
The MicDos small component weighing system is used in various areas, particularly where several dry, powdered, and granular bulk materials need to be dosed in very small quantities and provided in batches, for example in a small-component dosing station for pre-dosing of:
- Baking aids and flavoring agents for bread and baked goods
- Spices for spice mixtures and soups
- Vitamins and additives for pet food
- Flavoring agents and additives for confectionery
- Additives for the chemical and rubber industries
