Precise, Automated Minor and Micro-Batching with AZO
COMPONENTER® batching equipment from AZO offers a highly accurate, automated dosing and weighing system for minor and micro-ingredients. The system is as flexible as it is robust, allowing for unique solutions that can be used in a variety of industries.
The Benefits You Can Expect
- Eliminate errors and inaccuracies associated with manual operations
- Reduce the risk of contamination in your production processes
- Simultaneously weigh and discharge ingredients for increased throughput
- Expand your system at any time to support growing production needs
How AZO's COMPONENTER® Batching Equipment Works
Raw materials are fed into the top of the COMPONENTER® system and stored. The middle of the system is where the metering, dosing, and weighing of ingredients takes place. At the bottom of the system, ingredients are fed into the next processing step.
The two main COMPONENTER® systems use a circular configuration and a linear configuration. Each configuration has subsystems as well as custom design options.

FAQ
What is the COMPONENTER® batching system and what is it used for?
How do I choose between circular and linear COMPONENTER® batching system configurations?
The right configuration depends on your production complexity, batch frequency, and ingredient count. AZO offers five COMPONENTER® configurations addressing a range of operational needs. The Circular Design provides a cost-effective solution for formulas with a small number of ingredients.
For more complex operations, linear configurations are available in multiple forms: the Linear Design with Mobile Scale features surge bins arranged in opposing rows, each with its own discharge and dosing unit; the Linear Design with Mobile Container Batching provides automatic weighing of individual batches in their own containers; and the COMPONENTER® Step handles automatic weighing of minor and micro components such as pigments, flavorings, and additives into a batch container.
For operations with very high batch frequency and a large number of ingredients and recipes, Indexing Mode provides exact dosing and weighing to keep pace with demand.
How does COMPONENTER® batching equipment improve accuracy and throughput?
How scalable and flexible is a COMPONENTER® batching system for growing production needs?
COMPONENTER® batching systems are designed to be both flexible and scalable. They can be customized with different configurations and subsystems to meet specific production requirements, and they allow for system expansion over time to support increased production volumes or additional ingredients and recipes.
