Overview
Post-dose additive feeding systems by VOLDE are engineered for detergent and chemical production to deliver precise, repeatable addition of powdered and liquid additives after the main raw-material feed. These systems reduce variability in formulations and enable continuous, high-throughput production with improved process control.

Key benefits

• Consistent product quality: accurate post-dose metering maintains target formulations across batches.
• Higher throughput: automated feeding integrates with continuous lines to increase productivity.
• Lower operating costs: optimized additive use and minimized waste reduce material and energy consumption.
• Improved safety and hygiene: closed, dust-free design prevents contamination and spill risks.

Core systems and solutions

• Raw material storage and silos — tailored silo solutions for safe storage of powdered additives used in detergent manufacturing.
• Pneumatic conveying systems — vacuum and dense-phase transport for dust-free movement of powders in closed circuits.
• Dosing and feeding units — high-precision feeders for powders and liquids with adjustable control interfaces.
• Process automation — integrated PLC/SCADA for coordinated control of storage, conveying and dosing with data logging.
• Process control (PID) — control modules for stable regulation of dosing parameters and feedback loops.

How it works / Main features

• High-precision metering for powders and liquid additives to achieve required formulations.
• Automatic adjustments and synchronization with upstream/downstream equipment for seamless integration.
• Closed-loop, dust-free handling to protect product quality and operator safety.
• Real-time monitoring, alarms and data collection for traceability and process optimization.
• Modular architecture for scalable capacity, footprint and product-specific configurations.
• Available hygienic/sterile options for pharmaceutical or cosmetic supply chains where required.

Sectoral applications

• Detergent manufacturers
• Cleaning chemicals production
• Pharmaceutical and cosmetics (sterile/hygienic feeding)
