Comparative Analysis of Dynamic and Static Blending Systems

1. Core Characteristics and Advantages/Disadvantages of Static Blending System

Essential Working Principle
The static blending system operates in a sequential feeding and centralized weighing mode. All materials are added to the same weighing hopper in the order specified by the formula. The precise weighing of each individual material is completed in a stationary state, and the complete batch is then discharged centrally.
Significant Advantages

Single-point High Precision Guarantee

Each type of material is independently weighed in a static state, eliminating dynamic interference
For powdery materials with good fluidity (such as flour, cement), a weighing accuracy of ±0.1% can be achieved
Typical application case: The ratio of main materials (cement, sand, and gravel) in dry-mixed concrete

Structural Economy

The single bucket design reduces mechanical complexity
The equipment cost is only 60%-70% of that of dynamic systems
The maintenance technical requirements are low, and the cost of spare parts replacement is controllable

Sealed Anti-Pollution

The fully sealed hopper structure complies with GMP certification requirements
Food-grade stainless steel material supports CIP cleaning
Applications in the pharmaceutical industry: Additives for tablet production
Technical Limitations

Sequence Bottleneck Effect

N types of materials require N independent feeding cycles
The efficiency of 20 sets of formulations is over 40% lower than that of the dynamic system
Example: The average daily batch production of feed premixes is ≤ 30 times

Minor Component Distortion

Adding grams of materials to the kilogram-sized main material hopper
The relative error can reach ±5% when the addition amount is 0.1%
Industry pain point: The accuracy of vitamins in premixes is out of control

Material Residue Problem

Residual amount of viscous materials (such as syrup) reaches 0.3 – 0.8%
Risk of cross-contamination between batches

– Cleaning time accounts for 15% – 20% of the production cycle

2. Technical Characteristics and Capacity Limits of Dynamic Ingredient Dispensing System

Innovative Working Principle
Based on the Loss-in-Weight principle, each material is equipped with an independent weighing hopper. The feeding machine’s speed is dynamically adjusted by monitoring the rate of weight loss in real time, enabling the simultaneous and continuous output of multiple materials.
Technical Advancedness

Continuous Flow Production Paradigm

Parallel output of multiple components eliminates waiting time
Capacity density increased by 35-50% (e.g. plastic granulation line)
Supports 7×24-hour uninterrupted production

Micro-scale Control Capability

Special micro-scale weighing buckets (with a capacity of 0.5 – 5 liters)
Even with an addition of 0.01%, the accuracy remains within ±0.3%
Industry breakthrough: Addition of CNT conductive agent for lithium battery electrodes

Adaptive Control System

Dynamic compensation of density fluctuations using PID algorithm
Automatic tuning to adapt to changes in material flow properties
Case study: Seasonal variations in moisture content of raw materials in the food industry
Application Challenges

Significant Increase in System Complexity

The multi-bucket structure increases the number of failure points by 132%
Professional control system engineers are required
Typical maintenance cost: ¥8 – ¥12 thousand per year per system

Feed Cycle Disturbance

Volume mode switching leads to accuracy drift (±1.5%)
Effective operation rate drops to ≤85% during high-frequency formula switching
Solution: Dual-bucket alternate feeding system

Spatial Economic Imbalance

Each additional material requires 0.8 – 1.2 square meters of floor space.
A 50-component system requires an installation area of over 60 square meters.

– Comparison: A static system with the same production capacity only requires 20 square meters.

IV. Technological Integration Trends

Hybrid Architecture Innovation

Hybrid System of Main Component and Micro Component

The main component uses static weighing (accuracy ± 0.2%)

Conclusion and Recommendations

The static batching system still offers economic advantages in simple formulations and scenarios with moderate precision. However, the dynamic batching system has become the standard technology for complex formulations, continuous production, and precise micro-additions. In the next five years, hybrid architecture systems will cover 60% of new production lines. It is recommended that enterprises select precise technologies based on the material characteristic map (three-dimensional matrix of component quantity – micro proportion – rheological properties) and reserve 15% of intelligent upgrade space during new project construction.
