28 December 2024

By: Howard Chan

In today’s high-speed manufacturing environment, precision and efficiency are critical. The NovoDoser LN2 Dosing System is designed to deliver unparalleled accuracy and reliability in liquid nitrogen (LN2) dosing, ensuring perfect synchronization with your production line speed. Whether you’re in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, or general packaging industry, NovoDoser offers cutting-edge solutions for dose timing synchronization and dose volume synchronization to streamline your operations and enhance product quality.



Challenges in LN2 Dosing
Modern production lines operate at increasingly high speeds and handle diverse filling of product sizes, properties, and temperatures. This creates unique challenges for LN2 dosing, such as:

  • Maintaining precise timing to avoid missed or overfilled doses.
  • Ensuring consistent volume delivery regardless of line speed variations.
  • Adapting dynamically to speed fluctuations or product changes.
  • Reducing LN2 wastage to optimize cost-efficiency.

These challenges, if not addressed, can lead to production inefficiencies, increased waste, and compromised product quality.

NovoDoser: The Ultimate LN2 Dosing Solution
NovoDoser is engineered to address these challenges with advanced technology and innovative design. Here’s how it excels in dose timing synchronization and dose volume synchronization:

1. Dose Timing Synchronization

NovoDoser ensures that liquid nitrogen is dispensed at the exact moment a container or package is positioned under the dosing nozzle. This is achieved through:

  • High-Precision Sensors:
    • Optical and proximity sensors detect the exact location of containers on the conveyor, ensuring accurate timing.
  • Real-Time Position Tracking:
    • Integrated encoders continuously monitor line speed and container placement.
  • Dynamic Control Systems:
    • A Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) dynamically adjusts the timing of each dose, maintaining perfect synchronization even when line speeds fluctuate.

Benefits:

  • Prevents over-dosing, under-dosing, or missed doses
  • Enhances product quality by ensuring dose uniformity across all units
  • Eliminates production downtime and losses caused by timing errors

 

2. Dose Volume Synchronization

Consistency in the amount of LN2 dispensed is crucial for maintaining product integrity and safety. NovoDoser ensures that the exact dose volume is delivered, regardless of line speed variations through:

  • Adaptive Dosing Algorithms:
    • Intelligent algorithms dynamically adjust the flow rate or dose duration to match line speed in real-time.
  • Servo-Driven Actuators:
    • Enable fine-tuned control of dispensing mechanisms, ensuring consistent volumes even during rapid speed changes.

Benefits:

  • Maintains product stability, especially for pressurized packaging.
  • Increase production yield by reducing product in-compliance and rejection rate due to over or under-pressure packaging 
  • Reduces LN2 wastage, optimizing cost-efficiency.
  • Guarantees compliance with industry quality standards.
