FIBERDOS
FIBERDOS from m-tec is the flexible dosing system for the fully automatic incorporation of fibres in bulk material processes.It consists of an oval or rectangular silo container with specially constructed screw discharge floor and a dosing unit with rotating roller brushes under the silo base. FIBERDOS is perfect for dosing synthetic, cellulose and glass fibres between 100 µm and 8 mm. Naturally greater lengths can be tested.
FIBERDOS – facts
Mode of operationThe whole system is based on measuring cells. The system controller attached to the FIBERDOS starts the dosing process by means of a specified formulation. The rollers of the screw floor are set in motion by the frequency and convey the fibres to the centre of the container.
Two pneumatic slide valves open in the middle of the discharge floor.
They expose a rectangular cross-section through which the fibres reach
two rotating roller brushes, which dose the fibrous material to the
next process. Before the set weight to be dosed is reached, the
automatic change in the dosing parameters creates a fine stream of
material. This process enables the fibres to be accurately dosed. The
dosed mass is controlled by the measuring cells and the supplied
measuring logic. Thus the FIBERDOS is operated as a so-called net or
loss-in weight scale.
Installation location
In principle, the FIBERDOS can be installed variably, however, because of the cost and process speed, it is best to place it directly on the mixer or large component scale. Another option is to incorporate it as an additional module in the m-tec small component dosing system.

FIBERDOS pilot plant stations
In order to gain specific information about actual achievable performance when using a specific fibre, it is possible to carry out dosing tests with the mobile m-tec pilot plant station.
Dosing volumes
The minimum dosing volume for the system is approx. 100 g. The maximum dosing volume is defined by the volume of fibre in the silo hopper. Both values depend on the specific properties of the fibres.
Dosing precision
Depending on the fibre, fibre type and setup conditions, a dosing precision of up to +/- 20 g can be achieved.
Installation sizes/dosing performance
Two standard installation sizes are available:
- 500 l silo volume (oval)
Dosing performance: up to 150 g/s
Up to 300 kg of fibres in the silo
- 1,500 l silo volume (rectangular)
e.g. for holding the full contents of a big-bag
Dosing performance up to 300 g/s
Up to 900 kg of fibres in the silo
