First new generation MDU installed in Algeria
High-Precision Micro Dosing for Premix Production
A feed producer in Algeria expanded its existing premix line with Ottevanger’s new generation Micro Dosing Unit (MDU). The project marked the first installation of this new MDU design at a customer site.
The MDU is designed for accurate dosing of valuable and sensitive micro-ingredients used in feed production. Its modular configuration combines multiple dosing screws and weighers, allowing several ingredients to be dosed simultaneously while maintaining high dosing accuracy.
For this project, the MDU is filled using a movable hand intake. After dosing and weighing, the ingredients are pneumatically conveyed to the existing mixer, integrating the new dosing system into the customer’s existing premix production process.
Before shipment to Algeria, the complete unit underwent mechanical and electrical testing at Ottevanger in the Netherlands. Following installation and commissioning at the customer’s facility, the new Micro Dosing Unit was successfully put into operation.
The project demonstrates how the modular MDU can be integrated into an existing production line to increase dosing precision and provide greater control over the handling of micro-ingredients.

Optimum production starts with precision dosing and weighing
Ottevanger’s dosing and weighing systems combine high accuracy with modular flexibility. Our micro-ingredient units handle up to 34 dosing cells with individual screw feeders and optional rotary discharge for sticky products. Multiple weighers deliver net accuracies down to 50 grams, supported by automated controls and a dust-proof design. For high-precision batching, the modular Micro Dosing Unit (MDU) integrates up to eight bins, dosing screws, pneumatic shut-off valves and multiple “super scales” to weigh and discharge several ingredients at once, reducing cycle times and improving formulation accuracy. Built in stainless or coated steel and compliant with feed and food safety standards, our dosing and weighing equipment is used worldwide and backed by a global service network.
