How Dosing Works
How Does the Dosing Process Work?
Dosing is a critical process that follows raw material intake. After intake, ingredients are transferred to the dosing silos using elevators, with different raw materials stored separately according to their type and formulation requirements.
Materials are discharged from the lower spirals of the dosing silos and transferred to the dosing scale according to the required product ratio. High-precision load cells accurately measure each ingredient, after which the material is discharged through the bottom trap door into the lower dosing tank, ready for the next stage of feed production.
- Ingredients stored separately by type & formulation in dosing silos
- High-precision load cells for accurate ingredient weighing
- Dust-resistant, flexible connectors for reliable operation

Two Precision Systems
Micro Dosing & Macro Dosing
Two complementary systems, engineered for accuracy at every scale of your feed formulation.
Micro Dosing
Accurate Dosing of Micro Ingredients
Used for accurately adding small quantities of ingredients such as premixes, vitamins, minerals, additives, and other micro-ingredients at controlled rates via specially designed dosing spirals. Even small variations in micro-ingredients can affect the overall feed formulation, and in modern feed mills micro-dosing can operate in-line with the central batching system, with ingredients homogenized in a separate mixer where needed.
Applications
Macro Dosing
Precise Dosing of Major & Mineral Ingredients
Used for controlled addition of ingredients such as minerals, salt, marble powder, DCP (Dicalcium Phosphate), and other formulation components. Although generally added in larger quantities than micro-ingredients, accurate dosing remains essential to match specified feed formulation — helping manufacturers achieve consistent ingredient ratios, accurate batch formulation, reduced wastage, and reliable feed quality.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
— Dosing Systems
Answers to the questions we hear most often from feed manufacturers planning a dosing and weighing system.
What is a Dosing System in a Feed Mill?
A dosing system is used to accurately measure and dispense different feed ingredients according to a predetermined formulation before they proceed to the next stage of production.
What process comes before dosing?
Raw material intake is generally the process before dosing. After receiving and handling, raw materials are transferred to separate dosing silos for controlled weighing and batching.
What is the purpose of dosing silos?
Dosing silos are used to store different raw materials separately and provide controlled discharge of ingredients into the dosing system according to the required feed formulation.
How does a dosing scale work?
The dosing scale measures ingredients using precision load cells. The required quantity is weighed according to the formulation, after which the material is discharged into the lower dosing tank for further processing.
What is Micro Dosing?
Micro dosing is the controlled addition of small quantities of ingredients, such as premixes, vitamins, minerals, and additives, into a feed formulation.
What is Macro Dosing?
Macro dosing is used for accurately adding formulation ingredients such as minerals, salt, marble powder, DCP, and other relatively larger-volume ingredients.
What is the difference between Micro Dosing and Macro Dosing?
The primary difference is the quantity and dosing range of the ingredients. Micro dosing handles small quantities of highly concentrated ingredients, while macro dosing handles ingredients required in comparatively larger quantities.
Which feed mills use Micro Dosing Systems?
Micro dosing systems are commonly used in poultry feed, ruminant feed, aquatic feed, pet food, and premix manufacturing facilities.
Why is accurate dosing important in feed production?
Accurate dosing helps maintain the correct formulation, consistent nutritional composition, product quality, and controlled ingredient usage while reducing material wastage.
Can BK Engineers provide both Micro and Macro Dosing Systems?
Yes. BK Engineers manufactures and exports both Micro Dosing and Macro Dosing solutions, which can be configured according to the requirements of different feed manufacturing facilities.
Can the dosing system be customized?
Yes. Dosing systems can be customized according to production capacity, ingredient types, dosing quantities, silo configuration, plant layout, and automation requirements.
Can BK Engineers integrate dosing equipment with a complete feed mill?
Yes. BK Engineers can integrate dosing systems with raw material intake, grinding, mixing, pelleting, extrusion, cooling, screening, packing, and automation systems.
What type of weighing technology is used in dosing systems?
Dosing scales use precision load cells selected according to the required weighing capacity to achieve accurate and reliable measurement.
Is the dosing system suitable for automated feed mills?
Yes. Dosing systems can be integrated with automated batching and feed mill control systems to improve process efficiency, accuracy, and production control.
Why choose BK Engineers for dosing equipment?
BK Engineers provides precision-engineered, efficient, customized, and reliable dosing solutions with a focus on accurate weighing, optimized operating costs, robust construction, and seamless integration with modern feed mill production lines.
