Multi-Head Gravimetric Dosing Systems for Bulk Solids & Irregular Products
Precision Dosing for Complex Formulations.
LOCUS ROBOTICS’ servo-driven multi-head fillers deliver pharmaceutical-grade accuracy (±0.25%) for free-flowing to cohesive powders, granules, and pellets. Engineered for GMP environments in supplement, nutraceutical, and OSD manufacturing.
Precision Dosing Across Industries.
LOCUS FILLING designs servo-driven multi-head weighers for accurate portioning of:
Food: Fruit chunks, gummies, meat pieces, chips, crackers.
Pharma: Effervescent granules, tablet clusters.
Chemicals: Fertilizer pellets, bone meal.
Cosmetics: Bath salts, exfoliating beads.
