01Performance

What it does.

Dosing means exactly as much material as the next process demands – steadily, under control and without interruption. Whether boiler feed, press, rotary kiln or container filling: the discharge principle depends on the material, the capacity and the accuracy the consumer needs.
01

Steady flow

A constant material stream stabilises combustion, pressing and downstream processes.

02

Controllable

Variable-speed drives and level measurement adapt the quantity to the consumer's demand.

03

The right principle

Push rods, screws or vibration – depending on the material's flow behaviour and piece size.

04

Interface to the consumer

Planning the transfer to boiler, kiln or press in a coordinated way – including burn-back protection or sealing where needed.

02Context

Where in the process.

The highlighted steps show where this technology sits in the process chain. The other steps lead to the neighbouring technologies.

Machine types & parameters.

Typical machine types

  1. 01

    Push-rod discharge

    Hydraulic push rods reliably discharge even poorly flowing, fibrous materials from bunkers.

  2. 02

    Dosing screws

    Enclosed, finely controllable conveying for shavings, chips, pellets and RDF/SRF.

  3. 03

    Vibratory discharge

    Even discharge of free-flowing goods via vibrating troughs.

  4. 04

    Dosing bins & roller feeders

    Smaller dosing stations with rollers that even out the flow ahead of the consumer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

01What is push-rod discharge?

Hydraulically driven push rods on the bunker floor move the material step by step towards the discharge. The principle is robust and also suits fibrous, sticky materials where screws reach their limits.

02How accurately can material be dosed?

It depends on the material and the discharge principle. We define the required accuracy together with the operator of the consuming process – guide value only, project-specific design required.

03Do you also supply furnace feed systems?

Yes. Feeding furnaces and kilns runs through our project history – from the biomass furnace of a CHP plant (2006) to feeding a rotary kiln at a paper mill (2018).
