Rotodoser is the ideal solution whenever accuracy is required.

Dosing powder and bulk product presents significant challenges in order to fill and reach the necessary batch, accurately and safely.

Powder is not simply powder, it has various properties; powder can behave differently according to the environmental conditions, such as in the event of temperature fluctuations.

Dosing bulk products can cause problems to many pharmaceutical, food and chemical factories: interruption of filling, non-containment of product particles, damaged products.

SteriValves, always committed to solving process critical issues, designed and developed the optimal solution for accurate bulk product dosing: the Rotodoser valve.

It consists of two coaxial rotors of different volume individually actuated, which determine product flow and dosing in a unique solution.

Salient peculiarities

It widely stands out among other solutions on the market due to its main salient peculiarities:

1.) It is a double rotary valve, meaning that it has a highly performing rotor inside the main one;

Its double rotor design put together the discharge capacity with the accurate dosing in a single solution:

The main rotor ensures continuous product flow while the secondary rotor ensures accurate dosing.

The main rotor discharges large amount of product, the secondary rotor makes the precise dosage.

Benefits: reduce time and costs

2.) Secondary rotor can be customised in order to achieve the required dosage, meeting technical specifications in terms of accuracy.

Benefits: precise batches (no waste and higher quality)

Supreme advantages

Other supreme advantages that Rotodoser offers are:

3.) Light weight: Designed for ease of assembly / disassembly and maintenance operations that can be done by a single operator

Benefits: reduce time and costs

4.) Functional design:

  • Smooth surfaces that allows it to be easy to clean
  • Compact: making it easy to be installed in the plant or system
  • Ergonomic design: reducing time, costs and risk of contamination 

Benefits: reducing time, costs and risk of contamination 

5.) Quick connections: it can be mounted and dismounted with a clamp connection, facilitating maintenance.

Benefits: reducing time and costs

6.) Adaptable to standard connections present on the machinery or plant

Benefits: reducing installation costs

7.) Includes complete technical documentation (presented in 6 languages)

8.) Upon customer request, it can be ATEX rated.
