IBC-based dosing with precise control
Efficient Liquid Dosing Setup
Berntsen Diervoeders, based in Wehl near Doetinchem, produces dry dog food in its own factory and sells pet products for dogs, cats, and rodents through its on-site shop.To support continued growth, Berntsen installed a new grinding and mixing line.
Ottevanger delivered and installed five liquid dosing systems connected to the mixer. Four of these systems were supplied from an IBC setup consisting of two stacked containers. The 1,250-litre IBC on the bottom served as a buffer tank, allowing sufficient time to replace the top IBC without interrupting production.
A large buffer volume was chosen to ensure continuous operation during at least one evening or night shift without the need for IBC replacement. The fifth dosing system was connected to an existing storage tank.
All pump systems were equipped with rotary gear pumps and Promass flow meters for accurate dosing. The liquids were introduced into the mixer through distributors, ensuring uniform distribution and improving product homogeneity and overall quality.
