Ingredient Dosing Units Process The Van Aarsen dosing unit is designed to dose and weigh small quantities of ingredients which are suitable for a wide range of products used in the animal feed milling industry. These ingredients all have different bulk densities and flow characteristics. The Van Aarsen ingredient dosing weigher range consists of 3 types: • Small Ingredient Dosing system, SID (max. 300 kg) • Micro Ingredient Dosing system, MID (max. 50 kg) • Precision Ingredient Dosing system, PID (max. 1 kg) Benefits and features High effectiveness ▶ Very accurate dosing with slide openings operating in sequence for fine and coarse dosing ▶ Short dosing time ▶ First-in first-out principle by silo design in combination with slides ▶ Two butterfly valves under the hopper ▶ Pneumatic beater on the weighing hopper ▶ Stirring device in the product hopper(s) (option) Energy efficiency ▶ Total installed power only 1.2 kW Low maintenance costs ▶ Due to the application of self-lubricating plastic frames around the moving parts the machine operates smoothly with a minimum of wear ▶ Very low maintenance due to minimum of moving parts Easy and safe operation ▶ All moving parts are shielded for the safety of operating personnel ▶ Good accessibility to the weighing hopper Flexibility ▶ Wide dosing and weighing capacity range ▶ Vitamins, minerals and additives can be dosed with high accuracy for premix/concentrate production or direct mixing into finished feed. ▶ Silo extensions for new or existing dosing units by means of screw conveyor High automation level ▶ In case of a power breakdown the dosing slides will automatically return to a closed position thus avoiding loss of product ▶ Integrated electrical control panel with reusable data ▶ Accurate monitoring of dosing slide position ▶ Operating in ‘slave function’ to the feed mill automation Design ▶ Compact design ▶ Durable construction ▶ Product hoppers integrated in design ▶ Silos on top of the dosing unit (option) High feed quality ▶ Parts in contact with product made of stainless steel ▶ Dosing by means of slides resulting in gentle product handling and no product damage ▶ Minimum contamination of product ▶ Built completely according to the latest regulations and standards for homogeneity, hygiene and safety No rights can be claimed, based on the information in this document.

SID Small Ingredient Dosing Product silos Volume weighing hopper Discharge outlet Maximum batch weight Smallest component: Weight increments on Weight accuracy: * display Mechanical dosing accuracy ** Number of load cells Load cell accuracy * Weight accuracy (system) is the maximum deviation from the real value of the weight. This depends on the type of load cell used. ** Mechanical dosing accuracy describes the maximum feasible accuracy done by the dosing slides.

MID Micro Ingredient Dosing Product silos Volume weighing hopper Discharge outlet Maximum batch weight Smallest component: weight increments on display: Weight accuracy: * Mechanical dosing accuracy ** Number of load cells Load cell accuracy * Weight accuracy (system) is the maximum deviation from the real value of the weight. This depends on the type of load cell used. ** Mechanical dosing accuracy describes the maximum feasible accuracy done by the dosing slides.

PID Precision Ingredient Dosing Location PID Product silos Volume weighing hopper Discharge outlet Maximum batch weight Smallest component: Weight accuracy: * Mechanical dosing accuracy ** Number of load cells Load cell accuracy PID Maximum batch weight Smallest component: Weight accuracy: * Mechanical dosing accuracy ** Number of load cells Load cell accuracy * Weight accuracy (system) is the maximum deviation from the real value of the weight.
