The machine can be executed stationary. The machine then automatically doses the appropriate amount into the weighing hopper using an ALFRA Dosing Slide. When the recipe is complete, it discharges the correct weight onto a transport belt or into an under hopper or a mixer positioned below the machine.

The machine can be executed moveable. If moveable, it automatically doses the appropriate amount into the weighing hopper using an ALFRA Dosing Slide. When the recipe is complete, it discharges the correct weight onto a transport belt or into an under hopper or a mixer positioned below the machine.

The ALFRA BCD can be executed with a weigher-in-weigher system. This system incorporates two weighing hoppers for a very wide dosing range. Large quantities are being dosed directly into the large weigher. Small quantities are initially being dosed into a small weigher and afterwards it is being emptied into the large weigher. This system reduces the number of silos required since large as well as small quantities can be dosed from the same silo.
