Powder doser

Powder doser

For safe dosing of chemicals in your lab. Unique powder pump for free-flowing solid substances.

The LAMBDA DOSER & HI-DOSER powder feeder is a unique programmable powder pump for free-flowing solid substances.

It allows automated continuous dispensing or intermittent addition (with pauses) of powders, powdery and crystalline substances without a spoon.

The powder dispensers with an optional foot-switch can be used to dispense the powder in portions in media preparation, monitoring and screening.

LAMBDA DOSER / HI-DOSER powder feeder will modernize your laboratory

The powder dispenser consists of a dosing unit coupled to a digitally controlled stepping motor, allowing the constant and reproducible dosing of solids.

As the DOSER / HI-DOSER powder feeder offers different control options, it can also be used in automatically controlled processes.

Automation of the powder dispensing process in the life sciences, pharmaceutical or analytical laboratory can be done with the programmable powder dosing pump as it reduces human error, risk of spillage and conforms to laboratory safety standards.

Properties of LAMBDA DOSER / HI-DOSER powder dosing instrument

Dosing rate of powder dispenser

The dosing speed can be set directly on the control display of the powder feeder or remotely from 0–999 speed range for precise and reproducible solid flow rate.

The powder dosing rate depends mainly on the powder properties.

For example, the dosing rate range of NaCl at our laboratory conditions:

LAMBDA DOSER: 50 mg/min to 50 g/min
LAMBDA HI-DOSER, slow mode*: 60 mg/min to 60 g/min
LAMBDA HI-DOSER, fast mode*: 250 mg/min to 250 g/min

*On the HI-DOSER unit, you can work with either slow or fast mode at a time, based on your flow rate requirement.

Program dosing speed, time and pauses

Dosing speeds and dosing times with pauses can be easily programmed locally on the pump display.

The entered program can be repeated 'n' number of times (1-99 or infinite loop) with the “cycle” setting in the program.

Volume of storage vessels

DOSER and HI-DOSER powder feeders are supplied with the following glass vessels:

Approx. 200 ml or 0.2 L glass vessel
Corresponds to 250 g NaCl, 200 g NaHCO3 or 150 g sucrose. This capacity is optimal for most laboratory applications.
1 L glass vessel (approx. 1 L volume)
3 L glass vessel (approx. 3 L volume)

The glass vessels are interchangeable.

For larger volumes, the side neck in the glass vessel allows filling during operation.

Remote control of powder pump

The whole speed range of powder dispensing can be remotely controlled by applying a voltage of 0-10V.

Switching the powder feeder on and off (ON/OFF) is controlled by an external contact or 12V signal.

The RS-485 or RS-232 interface (optional) allows for enhanced PC control (variable flow rates, flow profile, etc.).

A PC control software PNet is also available (optional).

Please refer the LAMBDA DOSER / HI-DOSER User Manual for connection details.

Data storage and visualization

The PNet PC control software is ideal for remote control of dosing units, data storage and visualization of powder dosing.

You can connect up to 6 powder dispensers via RS-485 interface and cables to USB or serial port of the computer, without having to purchase additional software licenses for the additional laboratory equipment.

The PNet software allows to create dosing profile, record data for analysis or comparison, visualize real time trends and to save data to PC.

Conformity to safety in lab

The powder dispensers LAMBDA DOSER and LAMBDA HI-DOSER allows a safe and reproducible dosing of hazardous chemicals in the lab and conforms to modern safety rules. To protect the laboratory technician or researcher or student, the powder dosing device can also be controlled remotely.

The hermetic construction of the DOSER and HI-DOSER allows safe handling of dangerous and toxic solid substances.

Several seals make the DOSER air-tight and it can be used with a slight over- or under-pressure.

If the powder sample has to be protected from agglomeration or reaction with air humidity, the glass vessel can be purged with inert gas or dry air using the supplied gassing plug.

If the process needs to be protected from the risk of breakage, you can also order the glass vessels with a silicone coating (outside).

All parts in contact with the powdery substances are made of chemically resistant materials.

Quality standards for powder dosing

LAMBDA DOSER / HI-DOSER powder feeders are recommended for high quality standard of powder dosing in the laboratory.

In addition to the digital setting and precise dosing mechanism, the automatic recording of dosing data makes it an optimal choice to dispense powders under GMP and GLP.

Simple and easy to use lab device

The lab powder dispensers DOSER and HI-DOSER has been designed specially for easy assembly and cleaning.

Fixing to lab equipment: By standard glass adapters

The DOSER and HI-DOSER can be coupled to all common glass recipients having standard ground fittings NS 29/32 or SVL threaded connectors. It can also be fitted to the reactor vessel using an adaptor.

Special attention has been paid to minimizing the dimensions of all parts of the powder dispenser. Thus, DOSER 0.2 L can be adapted easily to complex laboratory installations.

The robust construction and the use of high quality materials assure a long lifetime of the powder feeders.

Economic dispensing of powder portions

Automated dispensing of powder portions in the lab gives the time for the lab staff to work on other tasks.

Due to better reproducibility and elimination of errors, the number of experiments can be reduced.

The DOSER and HI-DOSER offers an excellent price-performance ratio.

Quantification of the dosed substances

The powder DOSER can be configured with the electronic LAMBDA INTEGRATOR (optional) and allows the quantification of the amount of powder added as a function of time. This provides important information on the processes or reactions, e.g. when the DOSER is controlled by a controller (pH-stat, thermostat, etc.).

What is the lead time of Powder Doser?

We have DOSERs in stock and it can be delivered to you within a few days from order. Practically, it is only the time taken for shipping

Do you accept Credit Card payments?

You can pay using your credit card via PayPal. Most importantly, it is not necessary to have a PayPal account to make the payment via credit card.

Could you please confirm the particle size that can be fed by the dosing system?

The biggest particle size for powders that could be dosed with our DOSER is about 4 mm. A good dosing of powders depends essentially on the flowing properties of the respective powders to be dosed. In general, homogeneous and free-flowing powders can be dosed best.

How does the LAMBDA DOSER work with the substances which are prone to agglomeration?

The powder / granules / solid must be properly treated for good flowing properties It is also possible to allow a gas flow to pass through the Lambda dosing vessel in order to create a controlled atmosphere.
It is often possible to substantially improve the flowing properties of the respective powder / granules / solid by adding Aerosil (fumed silica – pure SiO2) to your powder (~0.1 - 2% by weight).

How the LAMBDA DOSER reacts to abrasive powders?

In the case of abrasive materials being used with the LAMBDA Powder DOSER, you will have an opportunity to replace the glass vessel and / or the distributors as needed.

What is the accuracy of the each dispensing?

The motor of the driving unit is controlled with quartz-driven electronics, similarly as it is done in electronic watches.Therefore, the accuracy depends mainly on the powder. For best accuracy and precise doses, the powder needs to be free-flowing and homogeneous.

Can the DOSER control the mass flow rate (g/min) of the powder being dispensed?

It is always possible to control the mass flow rate of the powder using the LAMBDA Doser. You could program the DOSER up to 27 pairs of speed and time settings to control your desired mass flow rate (g/min).

Is it possible to control the DOSER via Mettler Toledo titroprocessor to dispense NaF to the titration process when required?

Yes, the powder DOSER can be controlled by Mettler Titration Excellence T50/T70/T90 via RS-232 communication (most common type of connection with Mettler accessories), to dispense the desired amount of powder to the titration process.
The powder DOSER has to be included as RS-232 control in the titroprocessor unit and the desired activity can be selected (e.g.: the signal would switch off the DOSER or switch it on, etc.)
For integration of DOSER with your Mettler titroprocessor, you would need the RS-232 interface activated in the powder dosing unit and RS-232 connection cable.
