Our FCCD safely doses rarely used ingredients that can spoil if they remain in the silo for too long. It uses unique exchangeable “dosingtainers”, giving efficient and contamination-free dosing of even small quantities of materials. Ingredients from up to 24 dosingtainers can be combined automatically.

Combining high throughput with outstanding accuracy, the ALFRA FCCD features our unique dosing slide, which ensures that dosing and weighing is no longer the factory bottleneck. Uniquely, it eliminates labour-intensive and error-prone hand dosing – and the alternative of a separate machine or small amounts – by handling from 20 grams right up to 100 kg in a single machine.

Design features like an in-built dust extractor help ensure a clean workplace with minimum of even zero cross contamination. Cleaning, inspection and maintenance are all simple, and running costs are low.

With two weighing scales in one hopper (Weigher-in-Weigher) we make full use of our pioneering dosing slide concept. Dosing large quantities directly into the large weigher – with smaller quantities first going into the small weigher – means high throughput combined with excellent accuracy. Now, the appropriate weigher is selected automatically, reducing the number of silos you need.

The embedded ALFRA dose&weigh software uses historical data to start the coarse dosing and then adjusts the fine product flow profile dynamically, achieving up to 20% more throughput – even for materials with varying flow characteristics. The improved accuracy saves raw materials, while batch times are shorter and more predictable. Now, materials dosing is no longer a process bottleneck!
