Batching & Dispensing

Applicon designs ingredient batching systems for one to many ingredients, dry or liquid, fine powders to coarse lump. Regardless of the system configuration, ingredients can be delivered to the batching system by pneumatic or mechanical conveyor, or by IBC (supersack, portable bin, etc).

System designs can include:

Tower System

Used where multiple plant floors or high headroom is available. This reduces the amount of conveying & re-conveying.

Linear System

Steel Bin Batching System

Where headroom is limited, or when there are many ingredients. Linear systems can be designed for access from one or both sides, and are the typical design for IBC loaded systems.

Carousel System

Often used where both headroom and floor width are limited. Carousels typically don’t really take up less square footage, but can be used in corners or where limited aisle frontage is available.

Hybrid System

Tower, Linear or Carousel can be combined. For example, ten ingredients from IBC in linear format, combined with twenty minor ingredients in carousel format.
