Gravimetric dosing

Gravimetric dosing system

A gravimetric dosing system controls the quantity of material by weight rather than by volume. WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS refurbishes and optimizes these systems so each dose is accurate and repeatable.

Dosing by weight

Gravimetric dosing measures the material as it is dispensed and adjusts the feed to reach the target weight. Its performance depends on the weighing signal quality and the speed of the control loop.

  • Continuous or batch dispensing under weight control
  • Coarse and fine feed for accuracy
  • Fast correction of the feed rate
  • Repeatable doses across production runs

Refurbishment and optimization

WEIGHTEC SYSTEMS rebuilds the control with Siemens PLCs and Siemens weighing modules. We keep the reusable mechanics, modernize the control/electronics, and at project end the programs, backups and documents are handed over to the client.

  • Replacement of obsolete dosing controllers
  • Tuning of the dosing loop for the product
  • Management of setpoints and recipes
  • Diagnostics for feed and weighing faults

Accuracy for the process

The target is a dose that stays within tolerance while keeping a productive rate. We tune the system with the actual material, since flow behavior varies from one product to another.

  • Trials with the real product
  • Adjustment of feed cut-off and stabilization
  • Calibration of the weighing chain
  • Operator training on setpoint changes

Frequently asked questions

What is gravimetric dosing?

It controls the dispensed quantity by weight, adjusting the feed to reach the target.

Can you refurbish an existing dosing system?

Yes, the control and weighing electronics are modernized while sound mechanics are reused.

Do you tune the system for our product?

Yes, trials are carried out with the actual material.
