Batch feeder for bulk solids processing
In industries such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and chemicals, precise and consistent bulk solid handling is crucial. Challenges include maintaining ingredient integrity, adjusting to various material properties, and ensuring accurate dosage to meet stringent quality requirements.
Achieve precise control in batch dosing.
The FlexWall®Classic Batch Feeder, from SPS | Solids Process Solutions, is a versatile loss-in-weight batch feeder designed for a wide range of flowable ingredients such as powders, pellets, flakes, and fibers. Utilizing a flexible polyurethane hopper agitated by amplitude adjustable paddles, it ensures consistent screw filling and mass flow without ingredient degradation. The feeder features interchangeable screws and screw tubes for quick adaptation to different materials and feed rates. Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward, with options like a hinged motor for easy screw removal and an optional separate paddle motor for handling difficult-to-flow materials. Advanced weighing technology provides high accuracy, with batch doses controlled through coarse/fine flow or the Automatic Rate Turndown (A.R.T.) mode. This equipment is ideal for sectors requiring precise bulk solid handling, such as aquafeed, chemicals, food processing, and pharmaceuticals.
