AZO Incorporated Introduces The AZO Componenter®

The introduction of the AZO Componenter® redefined ingredient automation. With its extreme accuracy and configuration flexibility, the AZO Componenter® has become the world standard for the precise automatic metering, weighing, and feeding of minor and micro ingredients.

Minor and micro ingredients in the production process represent a special challenge in the automation of ingredients. These critical ingredients can be easily automated with the AZO Componenter®. The advantages to your process are clear: a separate scale for each ingredient providing accurate metering, weighing and discharge; a flexible system for all types of containers including bags, drums, big bags, portable bins and silos; and precise automated weighing and fast batch times with simultaneous weighing. The closed system provides dust-free operation and it is constructed with easy to clean stainless steel. The flexible AZO Componenter® can be designed to meet the needs of your process. The entire process is automated by a process control system that monitors the entire operation from storage, metering, weighing and collection.

AZO is the world's largest company devoted to total ingredient automation and management. Globally, AZO's annual sales volume is approximately $100 million. There are more than 600 AZO employees internationally with approximately 40 based in Memphis. AZO Incorporated is a 50-50 joint venture between the N. Hunt Moore family of Memphis and the Zimmermann family and AZO GmbH of Osterburken, Germany.
