There are two different systems when referring to dosage: volumetric and gravimetric.
In volumetric systems , the volume of the product during the dosage process is measured, and generally mechanical means are employed such as worm gears. These systems are generally less precise, and require greater maintenance as they are mechanical systems.
In gravimetric systems , we use weighing systems with load cells to control the amount of product by weight. These systems have a series of advantages which we list below:
Transport for positive pressure
Flows of up to 50 tph
Suction
Vacuum transport
Flows of up to 30 tph
