Quality and safety:
Not a manual, but a mentality
The terms quality and safety are inextricably linked at RIJKERS. Together they form the foundation of our company and the systems we develop.
Dosing system
For accurate dosing of powders and/or liquids
in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.

Custom-built dosing systems
Dosing powders and liquids is a critical link in the production process, especially in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. A dosing system that is specifically tailored to your product and processes ensures that you can achieve the desired quality time and again.
Whether to prepare a new product or top up the end product: it's all in the details. RIJKERS is fully specialized in all facets. We design and build dosing equipment and dosing systems that not only meet your requirements pertaining to the desired quantities, but also to the product properties, environmental conditions and hygiene standards. The ability to dose powders and liquids, but then completely customized. The milk of lime systems we have been manufacturing for many years are a telling example.
Tailored to your process
- Dosing and product properties
Every product is unique, whether it's a powder, liquid, semi-finished or finished product. Thanks to our knowledge and experience, and helped by your in-house product expertise, we know exactly how these products behave and how to transport or mix them. We accurately align the required dosing systems to these specifications.
- Dosing and conditions
The set-up of your dosing system and the local environmental conditions also have an impact on the design. For example, the distance the product needs to travel in combination with the desired capacity determines the required pipe diameter and the type of pump/blower that we recommend. The product properties and/or environmental conditions determine whether insulation is required and which type is best, as well as if heating, cooling or drying are perhaps needed.
- Dosing and hygiene
It's not only your powder dosing system or liquid dosing system that needs to comply with strict hygiene requirements, also the storage silos, tanks, mixers, pipework, platforms and skids need to meet the highest standards. This means you need to ensure there are no ‘blind spots’ or ‘sharp corners’, system components must be self-draining and smooth surfaces are compulsory, whereby special attention needs to be paid to the finishing of the welding seams to ensure that your product keeps moving and cannot become stuck anywhere.
Dosing and mixing obviously go hand in hand. That's why we align your dosing system and mixing system with each other.
Dosing by weight or volume
We look carefully at your recipe to determine the best dosing method for your powder dosing system or liquid dosing system: either by weight (as is the case for most powders) or by volume (applicable to most liquids).
Let’s make your business flow
It is vital that your dosing systems meet all quality requirements, but it is equally important to make sure they work without a hitch, every day of the year and with minimal maintenance. We set the bar at 99% operational reliability.
Our only ‘condition’ is that we are allowed to look further than the project scope or the delivery specifications. This generally helps us achieve an even better result: a higher quality of the dosing systems, of the dosing process, and therefore of your product. That's how we keep your business moving forward.
Featured case
Filoform
Filoform opened a state-of-the-art plant in Geldermalsen boasting the very latest technologies in the field of sustainability. The RIJKERS team was called in during the preliminary phase for the engineering and turnkey delivery of an entirely new process system, including the pipework and controls.
Pre-engineering: quick insight
Would you like to know what your system will look like early on, for instance how much space it will take up and what the installation will cost? Then pre-engineering offers the solution.
We are on site, on the shop floor of our customers almost every day to commission, expand and optimize systems, or for service and support. That's why we understand the best practices like no other and know the do's and don'ts. We don't just look at your specific needs during the pre-engineering phase, we also apply our in-house knowledge and experience to achieve the highest level of operational reliability for your equipment. After the pre-engineering phase, we can determine the required budget and give you time to make a well-informed decision.
Dosing is mainly applied in complete process systems with a combination of conveying and mixing, but can also be applied separately and/or as modular process skid.
Dosing according to weight
- Liquids:
- Pump/pressure in combination with a mass flow meter
- Pump/pressure in combination with a weighing tank/mixer
- Powders:
- Dosing screw in combination with weighing tank/mixer/hopper
- Dosing sluice in combination with weighing tank/ mixer/hopper
- Loss-in-weight dosing screw
- Vacuum transport in combination with weighing tank/mixer/hopper
- Blower conveying in combination with weighing tank/mixer/hopper
Dosing according to volume
- Liquids:
- Pump/pressure in combination with a flow meter
We produce dosing systems specifically designed for food, pharma and chemicals.
Whether it concerns the dosing system itself or the silos, hoppers, tanks, mixers and piping, we mainly use stainless steel with the very highest degree of finish. Depending on the application, we can also use even higher-grade materials such as titanium, hastelloy, (super) duplex and cunifer, but steel or plastics are also possible.
