Batch feeder for bulk solids processing
Achieve precise batch dosing with this advanced feeder, designed to handle a variety of solids ranging from powders to granules. Perfect for operations requiring consistent material flow and high weighing accuracy, ensuring optimal integration and performance in diverse production environments.
Doses and Weighs Flowable Solid Materials
The FlexWall® Classic Batch Feeder from Solids Process Solutions is an adaptable loss-in-weight feeder designed for industries handling a range of flowable solids. Its standout feature is the flexible polyurethane hopper, agitated by adjustable paddles, ensuring consistent and degradation-free screw filling. This feeder excels in dosing and weighing operations, making it ideal for applications from aquafeed production to pharmaceutical excipient processing. The feeder supports quick ingredient changeovers with interchangeable screws and tubes and offers optional features like a hinged motor for easy screw removal and a paddle speed adjustment for challenging materials. Its high-tech weighing system delivers high batch accuracy through a coarse/fine flow mode or Automatic Rate Turndown (A.R.T.), crucial for maintaining production precision. Engineered for easy maintenance, the feeder allows quick cleaning, while its robust design accommodates diverse materials including powders, pellets, and flakes. Flexibility in material choice further enhances its suitability for operations requiring specific chemical resistances.
