ManDos – operator-guided manual weighing system for micro quantities
ManDos – operator-guided manual weighing system for micro quantities

AZO ManDos – operator-guided manual weighing centre

for the provision of micro quantities

The operator-guided manual weighing centre ManDos is ideal for micro quantities that cannot be fully automated in a profitable manner owing to their consistency (physical properties) or production need (quantity and frequency). However, it is these micro quantities in particular that have a crucial impact on the recipe, meaning that proper control and documentation are essential during their addition to the manufacturing process.

ManDos is ideal for the following situations:
•Low batch frequency
•Raw materials that are not suitable for automation
•Frequent changes of ingredients
•A large number of components
•Limited investment resources
•Requirement for end-to-end documentation

Our expertise – benefiting you.
ManDos can be used as a stand-alone system, but can also be expanded to a comprehensive, networked batch production system with host interface. The logical user guidance provides the best support for the operator and minimises wasted batches. The raw material identification using barcode and the documentation of all work steps and weighing results ensures traceability of every batch at any time. The system has its own master data management (order and recipe management as well as item and stores management). ManDos meets all the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 178/2002, can be validated, and can also be used in explosive atmospheres.

How does ManDos work?

ManDos is a modular system combining the necessary sub-assemblies, such as scales, surge bins, desks, suction systems, barcode readers and label printers, and the software solution needed for this. The ManDos system provides a standard operating concept for a very wide range of terminals. Icons and graphic elements help guide the user.

When an order has been started, the operator is informed as to the component that needs to be weighed. After identifying the raw material using a barcode reader, the operator weighs the required amount in a container. A large weight display and a graphic bar diagram with change of colour make it easier to carry out manual dosing within the required tolerance.

All the components are weighed into the container in the same way, one after another. If necessary, a label can be printed to identify the target container. The raw materials used and the entire weighing process are recorded and documented from end to end.

AZO feeding hopper in hygienic design AZO at Powtech 2019
AZO feeding hopper in hygienic design
AZO at Powtech 2019 The hygienic design feeding hopper serves to feed bulk solids in powdered and granular form into closed materials handling systems, especially in areas calling for the highest standards in hygiene. Products can be fed from sacks, boxes, barrels or similar receptacles. The feeding hopper is available in two different grades of stainless steel and, depending on the surface finish, has surface roughness of < 0.6 µm or < 0.8 µm. The radii on the inside of the feeding hopper are greater than 50 mm and can be cleaned leaving no residue at all. Wet cleaning is done via an integral spray head. The gasket used for the lid can easily be replaced when needed, as it is not attached with adhesive. It is composed of silicone and is metal detectable. The feeding hopper is suitable for use in areas in zones 22 and 2 where there is a risk of explosion. To avoid dust escaping when sacks are discharged, an aspiration process can be connected that starts when the lid of

Azo componenter® Step – automatic weighing AZO at Powtech 2019
Azo componenter® Step – automatic weighing
AZO at Powtech 2019 Until now, minor and micro components had to be weighed manually, thus entailing risks and potential errors. These grow with the number of components and batches, and with the required weighing and metering accuracy. This has an adverse effect on product safety and quality overall. Manual operations may under certain circumstances require a large number of staff and demands a high degree of concentration from them during weighing processes. They are to some extent exposed to relatively high amounts of dust. Occasionally automatic dosing units are also employed, which meter the ingredients onto a weigh belt feeder. However these require substantial outlay for cleaning; neither can they prevent cross-contamination. In order to resolve the problems described above, AZO is expanding its already extensive portfolio for automation of minor and micro quantities with the Azo componenter® Step. This system makes it possible to weigh minor and micro components automatically
