Dosing accurately at very high speed
Our solutions provide speed, precision and functions specially adapted to dosing by filling or by unloading.
Our AXD-D digital load cell and the eNod3-D digital transmitter provide advanced dosing functinalities.
Especially designed to communicate with automated systems, AXD-D and eNod3-D offer the right solution for many applications : - 2 feeds dosing with automatic infligh correction
- Dosing into agitated vessels thanks to filtering functions
- Batching control in parallel including recipe handling

Rotary weight filler
Each dosing chanel includes an AXD-D digital load cell connected to a PLC via a CANOpen network.- The Hema PLC controls the global process, drives, and also sends the recipe parameters to the AXD-D.
- The AXD-D takes care of weighing measurement tasks and filling control.
- The real time exchanges between load cells and PLC are a key factor to reach high speed and high accuracy filling.
Each device is dedicated to specialised tasks for which it is ideally fitted, so this architecture provides a high performance system.

Filling of fish cans with eNod3-D
In this application, the rotary filling machine includes 8 heads equiped with full stainless steel and welded (IP68) AK load cells with 12 kg capacities. Each load cell is connected to a dosing controller eNod3-D taking in charge all the filling process : - Process management with parameters sent by the PLC
- Filling controll with 2 feeds and inflight automatic correction
- Filling tolerance management at the end of the cycle
- Direct drive command with eNod digital output

Parallel Dosing-Mixing with eNod3-D
The system include two hoppers for the powders storage, each are equipped with load cells and 1 eNod3-D for dosing control. A third hopper is dedicated to receive and mix the batch after dosing. The mixed material feeds in continuous an extruder.

In this solution, a PLC take care of general system controlling. All the weighing measurement task are sub-contracted to eNod3-D. To fill the hopper where the powders are mixed, the PLC send dosing parameters to the 2 eNod3-D. Each eNod3-D works in parallel and take care of dosing batch control by unloading. 
This application has been realized in collaboration with Schneider Electric.
