LAMBDA DOSER touch
LAMBDA DOSER touch
Precision automated powder feeder and doser for laboratory and process applications. Flow range from 10 mg/min to 250 g/min (NaCl). DOSER touch offers Efficient, Automated & Cost-Effective Powder Dispensing
LAMBDA DOSER touch -Programmable Powder Feeder/Doser
The LAMBDA DOSER touch powder feeder is an advanced, programmable powder doser designed for accurate continuous or intermittent dispensing of free-flowing solid substances such as powders, crystalline materials, and fine granular solids.
Automated powder dispenser enables continuous feeding or portion-wise dosing with programmable pauses, eliminating manual spoon dosing and ensuring high reproducibility in laboratory and pilot-scale environments.
High-Precision Powder Dosing Technology
At the core of this high-performance powder dosing system is a quartz-controlled motor, based on the same precision technology used in electronic timekeeping. Unlike conventional screw-based powder feeders that may compact or clog powders, the LAMBDA powder doser employs an open spiral-type powder distributor.
The spiral gently transports powder toward the center of the dosing unit, where it falls freely from the outlet, ensuring smooth, clog-free, and highly consistent powder dispensing.
Powder Dispensing Range & Performance
Powder dispensing range: ~ 10 mg/min to 250 g/min
The DOSER touch with a standard distributor provides the dosing range of about 50 mg/min to 250 g/min (Flow rates based on NaCl at our lab condition)
Modular Distributor Kits for Adjustable Powder Feeding Rates
- Standard distributor (default): 50 mg/min – 250 g/min
- Standard distributor for very free-flowing powders: 50 mg/min – 250 g/min
- Standard distributor (2× reduced speed): 25 mg/min – 125 g/min
- Standard distributor (10× reduced speed): approx. 10 mg/min – 25 g/min

Robust construction and chemically resistant materials ensure long-term reliability in laboratory and pilot-scale setups.
Efficient, Automated & Cost-Effective Powder Dispensing
Automated portion-wise powder dispensing reduces manual handling and allows laboratory personnel to focus on high-value research activities.
Improved dosing reproducibility minimizes experimental variability and reduces the need for repeat experiments—saving time and resources.
With reliable performance and competitive pricing, the DOSER touch powder feeder offers an excellent price-to-performance ratio.
Safe, Airtight & Compliant Powder Dosing System
The LAMBDA DOSER touch powder dispenser is engineered to meet modern laboratory safety standards, enabling safe and reproducible dosing of hazardous or reactive powders.
The hermetically sealed construction minimizes operator exposure and ensures secure handling of toxic substances.
Remote operation enables powder dosing while maintaining a safe distance for laboratory personnel.

Powder Dosing System – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How fast can a powder doser be delivered after ordering?
LAMBDA powder dosing systems are available from stock and can typically be shipped within a few working days, depending on the destination.
What payment options are available for purchasing a powder doser?
Payment can be made by credit card via PayPal (no PayPal account required) or by bank transfer.
What particle size can a powder dosing system handle?
The powder doser can handle particles up to approximately 4 mm. Best dosing performance is achieved with homogeneous, free-flowing powders.
Can the powder doser handle powders that tend to clump or agglomerate?
Yes. Powders with poor flow properties may require conditioning. Improving flowability or purging the vessel with gas can help achieve more stable powder dosing.
Is the powder dosing system suitable for hygroscopic or oxygen-sensitive powders?
Yes. The powder feeder is airtight and supports inert gas purging (such as nitrogen or argon), making it suitable for moisture- or oxygen-sensitive materials.
Can abrasive powders be dosed safely?
Abrasive powders can be dosed. Wear parts such as glass vessels or distributors can be replaced if required.
How accurate is automated powder dosing?
The system uses quartz-controlled electronics for precise motor control. Final dosing accuracy depends strongly on the powder’s flow behavior and homogeneity.
Can a foot switch be used with the powder doser?
Yes. A foot switch can be connected to operate the doser as an ON/OFF control or to trigger a programmed dosing cycle.
Can the powder doser control mass flow rate (g/min)?
Yes. The powder dosing system allows programmable speed and time settings to control mass flow rates in grams per minute.
Is intermittent or portion-wise powder dosing possible?
Yes. The powder doser supports continuous feeding as well as intermittent dosing with programmable pauses or external control signals.
Are powder dosing vessels interchangeable?
Yes. Different glass vessel sizes, such as 0.2 L and 1 L, can be used with the same powder dosing control unit.
Are non-glass powder dosing vessels available?
The system uses borosilicate glass vessels. Optional silicone coatings are available to reduce breakage risk. Clear plastic vessels are not offered.
What is the difference between standard and fluid distributors?
Standard distributors are supplied by default. Fluid distributors are designed for very free-flowing powders and typically operate at lower maximum dosing rates.
What materials are used in powder-contact components?
Powder-contact parts include borosilicate glass, PTFE, epoxy, and high-quality engineering plastics selected for chemical resistance.
What is the purpose of the gassing plug?
The gassing plug allows purging the powder dosing vessel with inert or dry gas to protect sensitive powders and improve flow behavior.
How is powder transported inside the powder doser?
An open spiral distributor gently moves powder toward the outlet, preventing compaction and enabling smooth, consistent powder dispensing.
What power supply does the powder doser use?
The powder doser operates on a 12 V DC low-voltage power supply and can also run from a 12 V battery if required.
Is the powder dosing system explosion-proof?
The system operates at safe low voltage but is not certified as explosion-proof. It can be used under inside the explosion proof box that can be purchased locally.
Can the powder doser be controlled by a computer?
Yes. USB 1.1/2.0 & REMOTE (CAN BUS) are available for remote control. PC control using dedicated software is also available.
What temperatures can the powder doser components withstand?
Certain non-electronic components can tolerate sterilization temperatures of approximately 120–130 °C.
