Dosing & Weighing

KSE’s system is designed for high-precision, multi-material, and fully automated batching. The system comprises flexible silos, stainless steel silos, dosing gates, and fixed weighing hoppers, handling a wide range of materials with different flow characteristics—from trace ingredients to large batches.

1. Flexible Silos: Made from specially coated, inert fabric, these silos effectively prevent bridging and rat-holing, ensuring fast and consistent material flow. Compared to traditional steel silos, they offer higher dosing performance, easier installation and transport, and are particularly suited for materials with poor flowability or special formulations.

2. Stainless Steel Silos: With a rounded-corner design to reduce residue and promote smooth discharge, these silos minimize the risk of cross-contamination. Agitators can be added for materials with poor flowability. Suitable for powders, granules, and pellets, they enhance both efficiency and hygiene on the production line.

3. Dosing Gates: At the core of the system, the dosing gate combines an exceptionally wide dosing range with high accuracy. A single gate covers flow rates from 0.5 g/s to 277 kg/s, with a dynamic range of up to 1:1000—meeting demands from micro additives to main ingredients. The gravity-based dosing method ensures gentle handling, preserving fragile particles such as pet food, feed pellets, and seeds. Optional scrapers minimize residue and support FIFO tracking and full product traceability. With minimal moving parts and a service life of over 20 years, the system is both robust and easy to maintain.

4. Fixed Weighing Hopper: The sealed design ensures dust-free operation and high weighing accuracy. Compatible with 8 to 12 silo positions, the system enables fast, precise, and flexible multi-material batching with full traceability.
