VILOMIX  FINLAND OY

Vilomix Finland automated the small ingredient dosing of its feed production with a POWDERMATIC© automatic doser for its feed mixers.

Vilomix Oy automated the manual addition of ingredients with a Powder Technic dosing system. 8 main raw ingredient silos and conveyor equipment as well as process fluid dosing were integrated into the new recipe control system delivered by Powder Technic.  
As is typical in the feed industry, Vilomix's production quantities are large as are the quantities of ingredients to be manually added. As a result, the manual addition of ingredients was automated with three big-bag Powdermatic™ dosers, thus making the process as highly automated as possible.

 This made it possible to completely eliminate the handling of small bags.
The Powdermatic™ equipment was placed in the raw ingredient storage area and the ingredients being dosed by the equipment are carried by pneumatic conveyors to the desired mixer. 
Powdermatic™ equipment grows along with the customer's needs
Powder Technic has supplemented the original delivery twice by delivering two additional dosers for the Powdermatic™ equipment in 2009 and three more dosers in 2016. At present, the system's automatic dosing configuration consists of 8 silos, 2 fluid dosers and 8 big-bag dosers. The construction of the Powdermatic™ equipment makes it possible to affordably expand the system by simply adding new dosing units next to the existing ones and combining new units with the pneumatic conveyor line.
