Volumetric Screw Feeders

The Volumetric Screw Feeders are commonly revolutionary family of gravimetric and volumetric feeders, not only incorporates a superior feeder design that makes so much sense it could obsolete all others, but also brings the automation features that drastically reduce capital investment and installation costs. Gravimetric feeders feature "Mechatronics," a design philosophy used to describe the total integration of mechanics and electronics. Motors and all control requirements are integrated and pre-wired in the feeder so that commissioning is accomplished by simply bringing power and communications to the unit. Use the feeder together with control electronics. Integrating your bulk solids metering process into your plant's supervisory control system becomes easier and more cost efficient than you ever imagined.

In most every industry worldwide, from chemicals to food, plastics, pharmaceuticals and countless others, you'll find volumetric feeders at work, metering fine powders, flakes, granules, chips, fibers, pellets and anything else imaginable. Instead of incorporating traditional internal stirring or vibration devices to keep material moving, with the preferred seamless vinyl hopper, that is externally massaged by two agitation paddles. Material is conditioned to a uniform bulk density, evenly filling the flights of the feed screw, eliminating ratholing and bridging. The result is excellent volumetric accuracy. Volumetric feeding deviations range from +/-0.5% to 3% for most materials.

  • Food grade and industrial vinyl hopper
  • Dual paddle action
  • Feed rates from .000017 to 280 cubic ft/hr
