Flow Measurement (Loss in Weight)
Product Examples for application
- LCp-200 Instrument
- KIS-3 weight module
- SL-4 Junction box
Customer Specifications
Adding a small quantity of liquid vitamins to a continuous-feed pet food production process eliminates most measurement technology options. Due to the enormous imbalance in the pet-food-to-vitamin weight ratio, conventional batch-by-weight systems are excluded as technology options. Continuous processing (ribbon blender mixing to conveyor throughput) also precludes the use of weight-based batching equipment.
Our Solution
High resolution LCp-200 rate-by-weight processing, combined with KIS Weigh Module accuracy, provides the ideal solution to this problem. Controlling mass flow rather than individual weight-based batches allows continual processing.
Exceptional KIS Beam weighing accuracy (0.02%) and repeatability (0.01%) ensures a constant rate of vitamin dispensation into the pet food blend.
In addition to inherent accuracy benefits, mass flow systems are non-intrusive. Product contamination risks due to contact with process equipment are non-existent.

Application Requirements
An extremely small amount of liquid vitamins must be added to a continuous-feed pet food production process.
