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 with its modular design that enables us to offer it in 150 m³–240 m³ sizes, may offer the perfect alternative.

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 SCREW
The dissolving screw permits even, unobstructed dosing, even with substrates 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 substrate. Additional output performance can be customised to meet your needs.
Vario equipment can be integrated with all the usual subsequent equipment.
We can deliver and manage the following systems, together with all their accompanying components, in their entirety.
- Pumping equipment
- Screw technology

Equipment and Accessories
Hydraulic Lid
To minimise emissions and weather damage, the Vario dosage container can be fitted with a hydraulic lid, operated using a wireless remote control.
For example, if you are planning to load your Vario DUO system using a truck or lorry, we can offer you a variety of customised solutions.
(The hydraulic lid cannot be fitted in combination with overchage protection.)
Inspection Aperture
To facilitate maintenance work, we offer an inspection aperture with safety switches in two sizes.
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.
Partially or Fully Stainless Steel
The standard 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 substrate, 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 substrate, is made of stainless steel and plastic, as are all parts of the conveyor equipment and the screws.
Special Paintwork
The Vario DUO 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 centralised, automated lubrication.
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
