Choosing the right dosing screw is essential for a stable, hygienic and reproducible process in the food industry. But which design is best suited to your process? Food ingredients vary greatly in behaviour — from flowability and stickiness to bulk density and sensitivity to breakage.

To support engineers in making the right selection, SPS | Solids Process Solutions developed two practical tools:

• Dosing Screw Selection Chart (PDF) – helps you select the most suitable dosing screw based on the bulk material properties
• Bulk Material Characteristics Overview (PDF) – provides real-world examples of food ingredients and their behaviour as bulk solids

Whether you’re designing a new system, optimising an existing installation, or simply want to make better-informed decisions — these tools provide guidance and save time.

SPS | Solids Process Solutions is your sparring partner for all dosing challenges in food processes: from engineering to practical optimisation.
