A new weighing, batching and storage system from Meese Orbitron Dunne features a dual-hopper design that ensures material is always on hand and ready for processing. Ideal for managing powders, granules and liquids used for continuous and batch production, the new MOD Material On Demand system integrates two plastic hoppers capable of holding up to 800 lbs each with designed-in bench scales secured within a durable, powder-coated steel frame.

Machine operators draw material from one hopper during production. When that hopper is empty, material is drawn from the second hopper without halting production. The empty hopper is removed by forklift and replaced with a fully loaded hopper without idling staff or machinery. Designed and developed by MOD engineers, the Material on Demand system also enables a measured amount of material to be dispensed from the hopper to promote consistency in shot weight, which results in enhanced product quality, savings in material and reduced reject rates.
