Precision Micro-Dosing Feeder with Integrated Agitator for Soybean Mills
.
The Challenge: Consistent Low-Flow Feeding of Additives
Soybean production mills require extreme precision when adding concentrated additives to the mix. At flow rates as low as 15 kg/h, fine-grained materials often suffer from “bridging” or inconsistent flow due to their cohesive nature. The client needed a continuous, pulse-free feeding solution that could maintain accuracy over long production cycles without manual intervention.

The Solution: Volumetric Screw Feeder with Vertical Bridge Breaker
We engineered a specialized Dosing Feeder tailored for micro-ingredient handling:
We engineered a specialized Dosing Feeder tailored for micro-ingredient handling:
- Integrated Vertical Agitator: To eliminate material stagnation and bridging, we built a 200-litre hopper with an integrated vertical stirrer (agitator). This ensures the dosing screw is always “flood-fed” with a consistent density of material.
- Precision Volumetric Control: The high-accuracy auger is designed for fine-grained powders, ensuring that exactly 15 kg/h is delivered continuously.
- Food-Grade Reliability: All contact parts are manufactured to meet the strict hygiene standards of soybean and animal feed processing, ensuring zero contamination of the final product.

The Result: Steady, Pulse-Free Additive Supply
The combination of the large-capacity hopper and the internal agitator allows for long operational periods without refills or flow interruptions. The mill achieved a perfectly steady additive stream, improving final product consistency and reducing waste from over-dosing.
