VITAMIN ADDITIVE DOSING UNIT

Precise-dosing unit with micro-component-injection technology and inverter control

A high-precision micro-additive unit for enriching finished-product recipes, complying with national/international food regulations and standardising flour quality to market demands in flour and semolina mills. By feeding the vitamins, minerals, flour-improver enzymes and other micro-components that must be added to the product into the main flow line in precise proportions, it guarantees recipe stability and homogeneous distribution.

WORKING PRINCIPLE

Additive reception and hopper integration — micro-hopper storage: the powder-form vitamins or micro-additives to be added to the system are filled into the specially designed stainless-steel feed hopper at the top of the machine; the hopper geometry is designed so the micro-volume substances do not bridge. Frequency-converter volumetric-conveying kinematics — inverter-controlled precise dosing: the system is commanded by a speed-control device (inverter / frequency converter) driving the directly connected geared motor; calibrated to the plant’s instantaneous flour-capacity regime, the unit sheds the vitamin to the lower line with high precision. Internal-bypass screw synergy and final conveying — homogeneous mixer blending: the unit, usually mounted on the main conveying line’s screws, injects the vitamin into the mixer mechanism beneath it; the integrated internal-bypass screw model blends the micro-additive flawlessly and fully homogeneously with the flour mass and returns it to the process.

KEY ADVANTAGES

- Micronised dosing precision via the speed-control device: Owing to drive (inverter) technology, the dosing screw’s speed is precisely regulated; this smart infrastructure ensures the targeted amounts of vitamins and minerals (on a gram/ton basis) are fed into the system with full-automation stability.

- Flawless homogeneity via the internal-bypass screw: The internal-bypass helical-flight geometry positioned beneath the additive unit guarantees not only the linear conveying of the flour particles and micro-vitamin dust but also their 100% uniform (evenly distributed) mixing by creating local vortices.

- Food-safe compact hopper design: The hopper on top of the unit that holds the vitamin mass is made fully compliant with food-sanitation standards, with a smooth inner-surface quality and an easy-clean structure.

- Flexible model variety by process capacity: It is produced in different industrial models and capacity options to suit the hourly total flour-flow density, the recipe’s targeted maximum/minimum addition percentages and the physical constraints of the mounting area.

ENGINEERING NOTE

The vitamin-additive (dosing) unit is a precise automation component directly determining, in flour milling, the finished-product quality and compliance with legal food standards. Unlike comparable micro-dosers, the mechanical synergy of the inverter drive and the internal-bypass mixer screw fully eliminates the “clumping or local concentration” risks in the flour. This precise-homogenisation quality maximally preserves the plant’s laboratory-analysis standards and provides sustainable product performance at the end consumer.
