Vario DUO Dosage Container
Many years of experience have taught us that every plant has its own individual challenges due to such things as local conditions, substrate type, the size of the plant, etc.
If our Vario dosage container is too small to meet your needs, the Vario DUO dosage container, whose modular design allows us to offer 150 m³–650 m³ sizes, may offer the perfect alternative.

1
HYDRAULIC UNIT
An electrically powered hydraulic unit is used to drive the Vario push components.
2
CONTROL
The standard system comes equipped with a Siemens S7 that permits autonomous control. It can also be integrated into a new or existing control system.
3
STORAGE CONTAINERS
The container is impervious to fluids. Its modular construction allows it to be expanded later.
4
DISSOLVING AUGER
The dissolving auger permits even, unobstructed dosing, even with media that are cumbersome to transport.
5
TRANSMISSION & MOTORS
We use planetary gear technology, which provides a high degree of efficiency and is resistant to wear and tear.
6
DISCHARGE SCEW CONVEYOR
The position of the integrated discharge screw conveyor allows for even delivery of the medium.
7
VARIO PUSH COMPONENTS
Vario’s conveyor rails are made of stainless steel and plastic. The outstanding efficiency and stability of this technology is unrivalled in the entire branch.
8
CYLINDER PERFORMANCE
The stainless steel piston rods in the hydraulic cylinders are equipped with a dual seal, which prevents the medium from mixing with the hydraulic oil.
One of its special features is our Vario conveyor rails. Their alternating conveyor mechanism allows for the steady, even discharge of materials. When the conveyor elements are moving forward, the push components unfold to powerfully drive the materials in the output direction. When the rails are moving backwards, the push components lie flat and slide through the material with very little resistance, allowing very little material to be pulled backwards.
In its standard configuration, the Vario dosage container can produce an output of up to 20 m³/h, depending on the medium. You can find further output performance statistics under Equipment and Accessories.
The Vario dosage container is available in left-hand, right-hand and centre output options.
The Vario can be integrated with all the usual subsequent equipment, for example:
- Conveyor belt
- Crushing equipment
- Screw technology
Standard Sizes
Standard Sizes 150m³ - 650m³
Standard Sizes
The modular cartridge construction design in small increments makes almost anything possible.
Equipment size / model designation is presented as follows. (See model 464)
The first number indicates the number of conveyor rails, width of the machine.
(in the example of Model 464: 4 conveyor rails; each further conveyor rail +0.7 m)
The second number indicates the number of cassettes along the length of the machine.
(in the example of Model 464: 6 cassette; each further cassette +3 m)
The third number indicates the number of cassettes along the height of the machine.
(in the example of Model 464: 4 cassettes; each further cassette +0.7 m)
Equipment and Accessories
Boltet Lid
The Vario equipment can be fitted with a boltet lid. The lid can also be fitted in combination with e.g. a connection to a cyclone unit.
Hydraulic Lid (Truck/Lorry Loading)
If you are planning to use your Vario dosage system to load a truck or lorry, we can offer you a variety of customised solutions.
Mounting Bracket for Cyclones etc.
We offer the appropriate mounting brackets to allow you to attach cyclones or other components to your Vario equipment.
Inspection Aperture
To facilitate maintenance work, we offer inspection apertures with safety switches in two sizes.
The inspection aperture can also be fitted with a viewing window.
Vario on a Stud Framework
In order to customise the height of the discharge screw conveyor output, the Vario dosage container can be mounted onto a stud frame.
Additional Opening Roller
The opening roller ensures even and unobstructed dosage. Up to 3 opening rollers can be installed, depending on the height of the container.
Distribution Screws
The distribution screw allows the material to be evenly distributed throughout the dosage container, in order to make optimal use of the entire filling volume.
Sight Glass Fittings
The round sight glass fitting with in-built wiper allows for observation of the interior of the dosage container.
Raising Output Performance
The standard configuration can deliver up to 20 m³/h, depending on the substrate.
Output performance can be increased to up to 100 m³/h.
Partially or Fully Stainless Steel and Steel Models
The standard steel model (only for non-corrosive media!)
In the steel model, the entire inner container, i.e. all parts that come into contact with the medium are made of steel, as are all parts of the conveyor equipment and the screws.
The partially stainless steel model:
All the inner parts of the floor and the container’s first C-profile ring, which come into contact with the medium, are made of stainless steel and plastic, as are all parts of the conveyor equipment and the screws. All other parts are made of powder-coated steel.
The fully stainless steel model:
In the fully stainless steel model, the entire inner container, i.e. all parts that come into contact with the medium, is made of stainless steel and plastic, as are all parts of the conveyor equipment and the screws.
Special Paintwork
The Vario dosage container is available in other colours, on request.
Standard Colours:
- C profile (steel): moss green (RAL 6005).
- C profile (stainless steel): aluminium white (RAL 9006).
- Substructure and side supports: zinc plated
- Motors, transmission crossbeams, cylinders etc.: deep black (RAL 9005)
Automated Lubrication
To provide automated lubrication, we offer a centralised, automated lubrication option.
Control Cabinet Roof
If the equipment is installed outside of the container, a control cabinet roof can be fitted, to protect the control cabinet from weather damage.
Filling Status Monitoring
To allow you to monitor filling status, we offer the appropriate system for each medium. Used in combination with our Vario control system, this ensures precision dosage of the medium.
- Radar sensors
- Laser sensors
- Rotary position monitors
- Weighing systems
Special Electrical Equipment
- Wireless remote control unit
- Load-dependent control
- Integration in ProfiNET / ProfiBUS DP
- Operating indicator lamp
- Tricolour operating indicator column
- Load break switch
