Automatic docking and undocking of containers, big bags, drums, etc.
Reliable contamination prevention
Exact dosing and weighing results with scale decoupling
Operator and product protection due to sealed system
Owing to the low dust emissions, it is not necessary to define ATEX zones here.
Easy to clean design
The AZO CleanDock® is used to automatically dock and undock mobile containers (e.g. hoppers, drums, big bags) at fixed dosing devices. It establishes a dust-tight connection between the container and dosing device. When undocked, the dosing device and the mobile hopper are tightly sealed off so that bulk material cannot escape into the atmosphere. When docked, the hopper on the scales is decoupled in such a way that the scales are not influenced by mechanical forces. The design ensures cross contamination between the dosing points cannot take place. Owing to the low dust emissions with the AZO CleanDock®, it is not necessary to define ATEX zones relating to this product transfer point.
The hopper (e.g. BATCHTAINER®, drum, container) mounted on scales is positioned under the defined dosing point. The grippers on the active part then raise and centre the coupling plate on the passive part. The scales are tared if product is to be weighed into the hopper. The AZO CleanDock® then opens the passage allowing the product to be dosed into the container.
