Weighing, Proportioning & Mixing

It’s the mix that makes the difference.

Macro raw ingredients such as wheat and corn are weighed and released from storage bins into the production process via Buhler’s weighing and proportioning technology. Micro proportioning technology takes weighing and dosing to the next level of accuracy for valuable micro-ingredients such as vitamins, additives and trace elements. The micro proportioning process precisely weighs and doses each micro ingredient so that the exact amount of each enters the product batch. Buhler’s micro proportioning process enables higher operational flexibility, productivity and accuracy because it mitigates errors and wastage while capturing operational data.

A uniform mixing of ingredients directly impacts the performance of the end products, such as feed pellets, premixes and ready mixes. Buhler’s mixing process technology ensures a qualitatively excellent homogeneity (CV) of no greater than 5 % at a mixing ratio of 1:100,000 methyl violet at large capacities and with top sanitation.

Weighing, proportioning and mixing processes are required in the production of premixes, formulated feeds; aqua feeds and pet foods, as well as in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food processing industries.
