Control additives influence the filler recipe

Summary: Control additives and small components are decisive parameters for the high-quality and efficient production of fillers and other construction chemical products. AZO has developed a concept for Pufas, in which all components required for the recipe are integrated, starting from the product feed from sacks to big bags and containers, a dosing and weighing unit and the precise weighing of batches, with verification of the recipe composition. With a pressure pulse conveying system the precisely weighed batches are then conveyed over a distance of 70 m into the bulk quantity mixing system. The automatic feeding system provides inventory transparency, data regarding the quantities produced and a quick ROI (Return on Investment).
