Batch weigh vacuum receiver
Optimize precision in ingredient batching and streamline your production line with advanced vacuum weighing technology, ensuring accurate multi-material handling and monitoring for consistent quality across diverse end products.
Weighs and Conveys Multi-Ingredient Batches
The Batch Weigh Vacuum Receiver from Coperion K-Tron is engineered for precise and efficient handling of multi-ingredient processes. This equipment integrates weighing and vacuum conveying technologies, allowing you to manage batch accuracy within ± 0.5% of full scale capacity. Primarily used in the production of polypropylene pellets, PVC granules, and pharmaceutical tablets, it features a stainless-steel 316L construction with an electropolished finish, ensuring corrosion resistance and compliance with FDA standards for food contact. Suitable for processing cumulative or sequential multi-material batches, this receiver is critical for industries seeking reliable and accurate ingredient batching prior to mixing. It supports both batch and totalizing operations, offering capacities of 100 or 1000 liters. Additional options include level sensors and discharge aids, enhancing operational efficiency and safety in hazardous areas. With easy integration into existing production lines, this receiver connects seamlessly with upstream and downstream systems, supported by Coperion’s customization and engineering services for tailored solutions.
