Single Dose:Weighs out a pre-determined dose and stops automatically when the funnel is empty, great for changing grains.
Timer Mode:Uses a timer with 0.1s precision for repeat doses.
Anti-Static Technology (Ionizer):An ion generator in the grinding channel reduces static, minimizing dust and dirt on the workbench.

Enhanced construction:die-cast zinc housing for increased durability and a high-torque motor with a quieter and more powerful gearbox.

Flow Control Disc:Helps regulate grain feeding for better consistency.
