Until now, minor and micro components had to be weighed manually, thus entailing risks and potential errors. These grow with the number of components and batches, and with the required weighing and metering accuracy. This has an adverse effect on product safety and quality overall.
Manual operations may require a large number of staff and demands a high degree of concentration from them during weighing processes. They are to some extent exposed to relatively high amounts of dust.
The AZO COMPONENTER® Step makes it possible to weigh minor and micro components automatically with gram accuracy, such as pigments, colourings, flavouring agents, additives, active agents and numerous other micro quantities. The system improves product safety while simultaneously boosting production efficiency by reducing individual manual production steps to a minimum. It can be used in the food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and plastics industries.
Especially when it comes to sectors with stringent requirements for hygiene, batch purity and product separation, the AZO COMPONENTER® Step enables adherence to the strict regulations and requirements of specific branches.
Special advantages
maximum product safety thanks to tracking & tracing
process steps and weighing results are reproducible
consistent, strict adherence to formulation
high levels of accuracy and cycle times
rigorous batch separation, resulting in prevention of cross-contamination
observance of recipe secrecy
can be expanded with further modules, providing flexibility when changing over products
high throughput rates thanks to fully automatic filling and conveying within the plant
allows effective production planning
less outlay for cleaning thanks to storage and target containers for specific product groups
target containers can be provided with liners if wished
compliance with stringent hygiene requirements achieved by:
filling the components into containers and
minimum exposure to dust through use of aspiration
reduction of physical strain and mental stress in staff
