Dosing Screw

Select FlexWallฎ except where:
• Ingredient responds best to an internal agitator
• All SS ingredient contact is required
• Some explosion proof (NEC hazardous environment) needed
• Ingredient temperature above 80ฐC continuous
• Powder feed rates below 1 lb/hr. (to 50 grams/hr.)

Features:

• Mass flow extension hopper
• Twin concave screws are self-wiping
• Screw is below agitator, no ingredient heel below screw
 
   
 Gravimetric Feeders

Vibratory Tray

Select where a screw feeder is not preferred:
• High bulk density ingredients
• Abrasive ingredients
• Chips and irregular shaped ingredients
• Plastic pellets "pulsationless" flow/wide range
• No sear on ingredient

Features:
• Rate stable with varying load (amplitude feedback and resonant frequency control)
• No rotating shaft seals to wear
• Wide feed rate range with electronic adjustment
• Tray covered with see-through plexiglass
• 304 SS contact metal parts
 
   
 Gravimetric Feeders

Silo Tray

Select for feed rates above 30 cu.ft./hr. and for large feeder storage:
• Wood flour
• Chopped plastic film (flakes)
• Batching with no offset, feed from center line of hopper

Features:
• Live bin bottom activation of bin contents for optimal flow
• Center baffle splits flow to 4 internal trays, prevents bridging
• Linear horizontal vibration induces flow in trays
• Entire bin bottom induces controlled flow
• VFD on vibration motors varies flow
• Storage with circular vertical walls
 
   
 Gravimetric Feeders

Liquid

Select for liquid feeding in conjunction with dry feeders or for very precise liquid feed:
• Continuous feeding of liquids requiring precise feed rate control

Features:
• Liquid tank weighed, pump not weighed to ensure discharge piping does not affect weighing
• Suction line has flexible and horizontal section to provide transition from weighed tank and pump
• High feed rate precision even at low feed rates (eg: 30 grams/hr.)
 
   
 Gravimetric Feeders

Weigh Belt

Select where headroom is limited and/or when refill hopper for LIW is not possible:
• Normally used for higher feed rates (above 200 lbs./hr.)
• Where headroom is limited
• Where refill storage above the feeder is not possible
• No shear on ingredient

Features:
• Easy access to components (removable housing & panels)
• Belt can be removed in seconds without tools
