In industrial production, especially in the processing and manufacturing of powdered materials, precise batching is the key to ensuring product quality and production efficiency. The powder weight loss weighing and batching machine, as a high-precision automated equipment based on the principle of dynamic weighing, achieves continuous and accurate measurement and proportioning of powder materials through real-time monitoring of material weight changes. It is widely used in many fields such as chemical engineering, food, medicine, and building materials. The following will provide a comprehensive introduction to the powder weight loss weighing batching machine from the aspects of equipment structure, working principle, core technology, application scenarios, and development trends.

1、 Equipment structure and composition

The powder weight loss weighing and batching machine mainly consists of five parts: material storage unit, measuring unit, conveying unit, control system, and unloading unit.

（1） Material storage unit

This unit is usually a sealed silo or hopper used to store powdered materials to be mixed. To prevent material from absorbing moisture, clumping, or being contaminated by external factors, the material bin is often made of stainless steel and equipped with a level sensor to monitor the material inventory in real time. When the material falls below the set value, an alarm is issued to prompt the operator to replenish the material in a timely manner. For materials with poor fluidity, the silo will also be equipped with vibrators or arch breaking devices to ensure smooth material discharge.

（2） Measurement unit

The measuring unit is the core part of the powder weight loss weighing and batching machine, consisting of a weighing platform, high-precision weighing sensors, and weighing controllers. The weighing platform carries the silo and internal materials, and the high-precision weighing sensor converts the weight signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the weighing controller. The controller processes and analyzes signals, calculates real-time changes in material weight, and achieves accurate measurement. The accuracy of weighing sensors directly affects the accuracy of ingredients, with a general accuracy of ± 0.1% - ± 0.5%, which can meet the needs of most industrial production.

（3） Conveyor unit

The conveying unit is responsible for delivering the measured powder materials to the designated location. Common conveying methods include spiral conveying, belt conveying, and pneumatic conveying. Spiral conveyor drives materials forward through rotating spiral blades and is suitable for conveying most powder materials; Belt conveyors use the frictional force of the belt to move animal materials, and are commonly used in situations with large conveying volumes and long distances; Pneumatic conveying is the use of air flow to transport materials to their destination. It has the characteristics of fast conveying speed and low material pollution, and is suitable for production scenarios with high environmental requirements.

（4） Control system

The control system is the "brain" of the powder weight loss weighing batching machine, usually using PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or industrial computer as the core control unit. The operator inputs the production formula, including material types, ratios, batches, and other information, through the human-machine interface (HMI). The control system controls the discharge valve of the material storage unit, the weighing operation of the measuring unit, and the start stop of the conveying unit based on preset parameters, achieving fully automated batching. At the same time, the system has real-time monitoring and feedback adjustment functions, which can automatically adjust the conveying speed according to changes in material weight to ensure ingredient accuracy.

（5） Unloading unit

The function of the unloading unit is to unload the powder materials that are metered and transported into subsequent equipment or containers. Common unloading devices include unloading valves, rotary valves, etc., which can accurately control the unloading speed and flow rate of materials, preventing material accumulation or spillage.

2、 Working principle and process

The powder weight loss weighing batching machine works based on the principle of "weight loss measurement". During the batching process, the materials in the silo enter the conveying unit through the discharge port under the action of gravity. As the materials are continuously output, the total weight of the silo and internal materials gradually decreases. The weighing sensor monitors the weight changes of the silo in real time and transmits the data to the control system. The control system calculates the actual flow rate of the material based on the decrease in weight per unit time and compares it with the preset target flow rate. If there is a deviation between the actual flow rate and the target flow rate, the control system will automatically adjust the operating parameters of the conveying unit, such as the speed of the screw conveyor or the air volume of the pneumatic conveying, to maintain the material flow rate within the set range, thereby achieving precise batching.

When the weight of the material in the silo drops to the set lower limit, the system will automatically start the replenishment program, stop the batching operation, wait for the material to be replenished to the upper limit, and restart a new round of batching process. The entire workflow does not require manual intervention and can achieve continuous and stable automated batching.

3、 Core Technologies and Advantages

（1） Dynamic weighing technology

The powder weight loss weighing batching machine adopts dynamic weighing technology, which can monitor weight changes in real time during material transportation, without being affected by factors such as material packing density and particle size. Compared with static weighing, it has higher accuracy and stability. By real-time collection and analysis of weight data, the system can quickly respond to changes in material flow rate, adjust ingredient parameters in a timely manner, and ensure that ingredient accuracy always remains within the specified range.

（2） Automatic compensation and calibration technology

To ensure measurement accuracy during long-term use, the equipment has automatic compensation and calibration functions. The system can automatically compensate for the impact of environmental factors such as temperature and humidity on material density; At the same time, regularly calibrate the weighing sensor with standard weights to ensure the accuracy of the measuring equipment. In addition, when the equipment malfunctions or key components are replaced, the measurement accuracy can also be quickly restored through manual calibration function.

（3） Anti dust and anti cross pollution design

In response to the characteristics of powder materials being prone to dust and mixing, the powder weight loss weighing batching machine adopts strict measures to prevent dust and cross contamination in its structural design. The equipment adopts a sealed design as a whole, and dust removal devices are installed at the discharge port, discharge port and other parts to effectively reduce dust overflow; The ingredient channels for different materials are independent of each other and use quick release connections for easy cleaning and maintenance, preventing material residue and cross contamination, and meeting the strict requirements for hygiene and safety in industries such as food and medicine.

（4） Multi material collaborative batching capability

This device can accurately mix multiple powder materials simultaneously, and achieve synchronous measurement and transportation of different materials through multiple independent measuring units and conveying units. The control system can accurately control the ratio and conveying sequence of various materials according to the formula requirements, ensuring that multiple materials are accurately mixed according to the set ratio, greatly improving production efficiency and ingredient accuracy.
