Accurate dosing for special additives in infant nutrition production

Achieving the perfect blend involves addressing unique challenges. One of these challenges is to dose small quantities of special additives in an automatic mode within a required timeframe.

Due to the nature of these special additives, we must face several challenges to ensure correct labeling of the finished infant nutrition products. Here’s how we tackle these challenges:

Ensuring high dosing accuracy
Our approach involves a precision dosing unit that meticulously measures additives within a narrow tolerance range. We’re talking about precision to the finest detail, thanks to the implementation of advanced techniques tailored to meet specific client needs.

Emphasizing cleanability
We ensure that every product contact point in our installation is designed for easy access and dismounting, facilitating hassle-free manual cleaning without the need for additional tools. This means maintaining impeccable standards without sacrificing efficiency.

Mitigating product losses
Special additives are precious and often come with a high cost per (kilo)gram. Our efforts revolve around minimising any waste during the dosing process, ensuring that these valuable additives are put to the best possible use.

The result? An engineered dosing and weighing system that combines accuracy, hygiene and efficiency. Feel free to reach out if you are interested in our microdosing solutions! Your success in delivering safe and precisely formulated products is one of our priorities!

Balancing Automation and Operational Efficiency in Premixing Facilities

The Importance of Strategic Automation The key to effective automation lies in a meticulous A-B-C analysis of anticipated patterns and material consumptions. This analysis helps in tailoring automation strategies to different categories of materials: Category A: High-Consumption Products These are products used consistently throughout the year or on a seasonal basis. For high-consumption items, a high level of automation is essential. It ensures consistent output, reduces manual handling, and enhances overall efficiency. Implementing advanced automated systems for these products helps streamline operations and maintain steady production rates. Category B: Moderate-Consumption Items These products are used in fewer recipes and have a moderate consumption rate. Automation for these items should strike a balance between cost and productivity. Targeted automation solutions can provide the necessary efficiency without overspending, optimising the blending process and reducing operational costs. Category C: Low-Consumption Components This category includes functional additives or micro-ingredients that are used infrequently and may be subject to frequent changes. For these components, flexibility is key. Automated solutions must be adaptable to accommodate frequent changes in formulation and usage. Flexible automation systems can adjust to varying requirements and minimise waste, ensuring that low-consumption components are handled efficiently. J-Tec’s Expertise in Automation At J-Tec, we are leaders in evaluating production needs and determining the optimal level of automation for your premixing facility.
