Weighing, Dosing & Loss-in-Weight Feeding worked example

Dosing Accuracy with delivered dose mass of 310 g: a worked example

This scenario runs the dosing accuracy calculation on the strong side: delivered dose mass of 310 g, with every other input held at its documented default. Use it when dosing accuracy in weighing, dosing and loss-in-weight feeding needs a clean margin number for a weighing, dosing and loss-in-weight feeding go / no-go review.

The inputs for this scenario

  • Delivered dose mass: 310 g (raised for this scenario; the documented default is 125)
  • Target dose mass: 100 g (unchanged)
  • Nominal recipe dose: 100 g (unchanged)

Working through the calculation

  • Applying the documented formula (Dosing Accuracy margin = available value - required value) to the inputs above produces each figure below.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 % for margin, the number this scenario is built around.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 210 value for absolute margin.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 310 value for available amount.
  • At this operating point the engine returns 100 value for required amount.

How this compares with the baseline

  • Against the tool's baseline example, where delivered dose mass sits at 125 g and the headline result is 25 %, this scenario comes in 740% above the baseline at 210 %.
  • Use it at batch qualification or during commissioning to verify a doser meters each ingredient within its allowed tolerance window. Treat this as a target state: the delta against the baseline quantifies what the improvement is worth before you commit to chasing it.

Results at a glance

  • Margin: 210 % (headline result)
  • Absolute margin: 210 value
  • Available amount: 310 value
  • Required amount: 100 value
