Abstract

The paper presents the types, forms, and frequencies of errors that appear during the process of dosing bulk solids from the food industry and agriculture, using volumetric and gravimetric dosing systems. Methods of calculation are described for the experimental dosing stand with vibratory feeding systems. In the end, the article presents examples of errors determined during the experimental work done with three types of agro-food bulk solid materials.
