3.4 Dosing heads and equipment
Powder dosing head
Powder dosing heads are used for automatic powder dosing. If
only a small quantity of powder is required, the dosing head can
be used without a vial attached to it. In this case, the opening
can then be closed using the spare cap included in the delivery.
The dosing heads can be stored in appropriate storage
containers. Vials and storage containers need to be purchased
separately.
If a printer is connected, you can use a pre-defined template to
print a label with the dosing-head data from the RFID tag and
affix this label to the dosing head.
Powder test head
The powder test head is used to test a powder dosing system.
The dosing head is filled with calcium carbonate (CaCO
3
) and
uses a predefined test program to check the dosing functionality
of the system. The powder test head is programmed to perform
15 tests. Each test weighs 10 doses of a pre-defined amount of
powder. If your instrument fails the tests, inform a METTLER
TOLEDO service technician.
