Gravimetric systems thus achieve significantly higher accuracy because they automatically compensate for fluctuations in bulk density.&nbsp;<strong>When is gravimetric dosing preferable to volumetric dosing?<\/strong>Whenever high standards of accuracy and reproducibility are required\u2014for example, in the pharmaceutical industry, battery research, or when working with plastics containing a high proportion of additives. For simpler, standard applications, a volumetric solution is often sufficient.&nbsp;<strong>What is a loss-in-weight feeder? <\/strong>A loss-in-weight feeder is a gravimetric dosing system that controls material discharge based on the continuous weight loss of a storage hopper. This ensures highly precise and reproducible dosing, regardless of fluctuations in the bulk material.&nbsp;<strong>What are the smallest quantities that can be dispensed? <\/strong>Three-Tec Dosierger\u00e4te decken einen sehr weiten Bereich ab &#8211; von Kleinstmengen ab 5 g pro Stunde im Labormassstab bis hin zu mehreren Tonnen pro Stunde in der Produktion.
