Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit
MBA Plant’s Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit is an automated dosing system specifically designed for Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) production. It accurately and consistently feeds cellulose fiber additives into the asphalt mixer, ensuring superior mixture quality and production efficiency.
In SMA asphalt production, cellulose fibers play a critical role in preventing bitumen drain-down by stabilizing the asphalt binder within the aggregate structure. Precise fiber dosing directly affects pavement performance and mixture durability. The Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit, equipped with a PLC-controlled automation system, precisely meters the required amount of cellulose fiber into every production batch, ensuring homogeneous asphalt mixing and consistent product quality.
Thanks to its heavy-duty mechanical design, the system can be easily integrated into stationary asphalt plants, mobile asphalt plants, and existing asphalt plant modernization projects. With low maintenance requirements, reliable operation, and robust steel construction, the Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit provides long-term, uninterrupted performance under demanding production conditions.

How Does a Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit Work ?
1. PLC Integration and Recipe Input
The operator enters the required cellulose fiber ratio through the PLC-controlled Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit interface according to the asphalt production recipe. The system automatically adjusts the dosing parameters before production starts.
2. High-Precision Weighing and Dosing
The integrated weighing system continuously measures the required amount of cellulose fiber with high accuracy based on the asphalt plant’s mixer cycle, ensuring consistent material dosing.
3. Homogeneous and Lump-Free Fiber Feeding
The specially engineered dosing mechanism transfers cellulose fiber smoothly without clogging, bridging, or agglomeration, providing homogeneous fiber feeding into the production process.
4. Pneumatic Blower Transfer to the Mixer
After dosing, the cellulose fiber is conveyed directly to the asphalt mixer through a high-efficiency pneumatic blower system, ensuring fast, safe, and continuous material transfer without production interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cellulose Fiber Dosing Units
Find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Cellulose Fiber Dosing Units, SMA asphalt production, asphalt plant fiber dosing systems, and automatic cellulose fiber feeding technology.
Why Is a Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit Essential for Asphalt Production ?
Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA) is widely used on highways, intersections, airport runways, and other high-traffic pavements because of its superior durability and resistance to deformation. Compared with conventional asphalt mixtures, SMA contains a higher bitumen content.
A Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit precisely feeds cellulose fibers into the asphalt mixer, preventing bitumen drain-down, maintaining mixture stability, and improving pavement performance. Accurate fiber dosing is essential to achieve the required SMA specifications, ensuring consistent asphalt quality, longer pavement life, and reliable production results.
Can I Retrofit the Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit to My Existing Asphalt Plant ?
Yes. Our Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit features a modular design, allowing it to be easily integrated not only into new asphalt plants but also into existing facilities as part of a retrofit project. Regardless of the asphalt plant brand or model, the system can be customized for seamless installation with minimal production downtime.
What Determines the Price of a Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit ?
The price of a Cellulose Fiber Dosing Unit depends on several factors, including the storage hopper capacity, hourly dosing capacity, the accuracy of the load cell weighing system, the level of PLC automation, and the integration requirements for your existing asphalt plant.
