|&nbsp;Raw materials used in high and medium amounts in the production formula are generally weighed on a weighing pan using various feeders. Additives that are present in small amounts in the formula are prepared by weighing them more precisely. Additive weighing can be done semi-automatically or fully automatically. The prepared mixtures are fed to the mixer or other production machines such as dissolver and extruder by being drawn with its own flow or vacuum pneumatic conveying method, depending on the process and factory layout. However, raw materials in high and medium amounts can also be dosed using a weighed vacuum system. This ensures that raw materials in different places within the facility are fed to the same point.&nbsp;The PLC automation system controls the recipe preparation system, which is designed in a variety of ways and specifically for the application, according to the needs of the project, the characteristics of the process and the amount of raw materials used. Thanks to programming that enables automation and production scenarios to meet all needs, and SCADA software that controls the facility by the operator, production is continued precisely and at the same quality.&nbsp;VOLDE prescription preparation system solutions; <ul><li style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Fully automatic weighing of main raw materials and additives</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Weighed vacuum transport system</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Manual additive weighing</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Continue dosing system</li><li style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; line-height: normal;">Volumetric and gravimetric feeders</li></ul> &nbsp;<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>

Depending on the structure of the material, screw feeders, belt feeders or vibrating feeders are used in feeding equipment. When dosing raw materials, the quantities are measured with weighing pans with precision scales. The entire operation is managed using a control system, ensuring that the exact amount of each raw material is dosed according to the specified ratio. After the raw materials are weighed, they are usually discharged into a blender. The homogeneously mixed material coming out of the mixer is transferred to production machines via conveying systems such as screw conveyors, belts or pneumatic systems.<o:p></o:p>

Weighing of Main Ingredients

|&nbsp;With automatic dosing systems, the same amount of raw material is used in each batch, ensuring that the production quality is constantly same. In addition, these systems increase efficiency and make the production process faster compared to manual processes. The possibility of human error, often encountered in manual measurements, is significantly reduced. Additionally, the computerized nature of these systems facilitates traceability, making it easier to document and track batches, quantities, and raw material usage.

These systems are designed by VOLDE especially for high capacity and continuous production processes. In continue dosing systems, each ingredient in the formula is fed uninterruptedly and since each works at a constant discharge capacity (kg/h), the mixing ratio remains constant. VOLDE Loss in Weight feeders are the most important equipment used in these systems. In this system, which is installed before the continue mixer or extruder, other additive materials in certain proportions are added with Loss in Weight Feeders while it is flowing onto the main material, which generally passes through a collection conveyor, creating a homogeneous sandwich structure with the same content in each section.

<h2 style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:

These additives, typically included in production using 25 kg capacity bags, are stored with the help of bag dumping bunkers and are weighed using suitable dosing devices. Designed according to the specific requirements, the following systems are utilized&nbsp; - Manual weighing stations- Semi-automatic dosing units-&nbsp;Fully automatic dosing systems&nbsp;These systems ensure that the minor additives are prepared with the utmost precision to complete the recipe. The purpose of micro-dosing is to enhance product quality, reduce labor costs, and provide precise control over the processes. <o:p></o:p>

<h2 style="margin-bottom:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:normal">&nbsp;&nbsp;Weighed Vacuum Conveying</h2>&nbsp;| In dosing systems, the weighing process of various raw materials in the desired kg values can be done with various feeders in batch or continuous mode. Alternatively, the weighing process can also be performed while conveying the raw material pneumatically with a vacuum. This method is generally preferred for the majority of materials in a formulation, and it is a suitable solution for materials stored in silos. Thanks to VOLDE's experience and expertise in this field, it ensures the desired capacity and dosing precision even in the finest powders, and establishes more precise and practical facilities.

&nbsp;
| One of our solutions applied when there are numerous micro additives in the formulation is the construction of manual weighing stations to ensure accurate and complete weighing. The operator sees the names and weighing amounts of the raw materials in the recipe loaded into the system in advance on the screen one by one. Using an integrated electronic scale, the operator manually weighs the product in turn, and when the weighing is at the desired value, the system approves it and displays what the next material is and the bunker number. This process ends when all the components in the recipe have been weighed. By preparing this formulation in multiple bags simultaneously, it saves time in production.

 | These are systems that allow raw materials stored in various points of the factory in recipe preparation systems to be transported to a single point by vacuum and at the same time to be weighed accurately. They are used for weighing raw materials with a high percentage in the recipe. The additive mixture, which has been previously weighed and prepared, is transported by vacuum to empty these raw materials into the mixer. They are generally positioned on the mixer or extruder where the dosed raw materials will be discharged.

&nbsp;
Gravimetric feeders are devices that provide precise dosing based on the material's mass. As VOLDE we ensure the creation of a homogeneous product by adding powders, granules and pellets in the prescribed proportions. The Loss in Weight feeder type is used in continuous processes, while the Micro Batch Feeder type is used in batch processes.
Gravimetric feeder consists of a feeding hopper mounted on load cells, suitable feeding equipment (like vibratory, screw, belt feeder) for the material, and a control unit. The load cells measure the material's weight in real-time and the control unit automatically adjusts the feeding rate using this data.
