Dosing system for medium components
Why the ALFRA GCD?
- Extremely robust with low maintenance and running costs, >20-year operational life
- High throughput for small components like dry powders, granulates and pellets
- Dose any quantity from 1 kg to 1000 kg quickly and accurately
- Closed design for clean workplace
Workhorse for medium component doses
Our ALFRA GCD dosing & weighing system with stationary weighing hopper is closed for low-dust operation. The system combines ingredients from up to 24 silos automatically.
Combining high throughput with excellent accuracy, the system features our unique dosing slide, which ensures that dosing and weighing is no longer the factory bottleneck. This workhorse machine is low cost yet has high performance. It handles from 1 kg up to 1000 kg in a single machine.
Self-learning software optimizes the flow profile for highest speed and precision (so saving on expensive raw materials). When the batch is complete, the correct weight is discharged onto a transport belt or into an under hopper or mixer positioned below the machine.
Materials are traceable through all the process stages. Cleaning, inspection and maintenance are all simple, and running costs are low.
Smart software ensures maximum throughput
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!
