 The new MOD Material On Demand weighing and batching system enables powders, granules and liquids to be continuously drawn without stopping production as if being dispensed from a bottomless hopper. When the first hopper is empty, workers simply switch to drawing material from the second hopper while a lift truck operator replaces the empty hopper with a new, fully loaded hopper.
Energy Savings
Idle machinery due to a lack of on hand material is eliminated. By eliminating downtime for stoppages and keeping production running, this system also enables plastics, food, beverage and other processors to maintain the high temperature of their machinery without risk of cooling during downtime. Direct savings in reduced energy use are substantial.
 Quality Control
The MOD Material On Demand system includes a designed-in weighing and batching assembly. To dispense an exact, measured shot weight, a scale is set under the dispensing valve. Operators open the valve and dispense material into a small bin and shut the valve when the scale reads the desired weight. By ensuring the exact amount of material is dispensed and loaded without spillage, this system cuts material waste, promotes product quality and reduces reject rates. The potential for costly reruns due to under filling the mold - in the case of plastics - or due to contamination is virtually eliminated.
The scale is also set atop conveyor rollers to permit the filled container to be rolled forward during removal and reduce the potential for ergonomic lifting issues.
Comes Complete
The MOD Material On Demand system includes:
- durable, plastic (HDPE) forkliftable hoppers with 800 lb. capacity (2)
- hopper lids (2)

"Our material yield due to less waste increased by over 5 percent within weeks of installing this MOD Material On Demand system." – Mike Dorsey, Vice President Manufacturing and Engineering, Meese Orbitron Dunne Co.
