The KMG Powder Dosing Unit is designed to accurately deliver seasoning powders at a constant volume. Working together with our patented FlowWeigher, the Powder Dosing Unit (PDU) will accurately season your base product as it gently tumbles through our coating drum.
We know that hygiene is critical. The KMG Powder Dosing Unit is easy and quick to change – we’ve got it down to less than 60 seconds and easy to clean too. The lightweight body and quick release clamps mean that it lifts effortlessly away.
