Feeding system for filter cake and wet pet food

Achieve seamless material handling and agitation for solid shortening and wet pet food, ensuring consistent flow and precise discharge every time.

Feeds and Agitates Materials for Consistent Discharge

The Cake Feeder from Scott Equipment Company is engineered to provide reliable material handling for diverse industries, from animal nutrition to food processing. Featuring a cylindrical barrel and vertical agitator, this design ensures consistent feed flow into a horizontal discharge screw, which can be paired with a screw conveyor or positive displacement pump. This makes the system optimal for handling solids, slurries, and cake products such as solid shortening and ethanol by-products. With its availability in carbon steel, 304, or 316 stainless steel, the feeder is adaptable to various material handling needs, offering enhanced corrosion resistance. It includes steam, oil, electric, or water jackets for precise temperature control in feeding operations. Designed for integration into continuous or manual processes, it meets USDA, FDA, and 2A sanitary standards. Maintenance is streamlined through standard replacement parts and a design that promotes durability. Additionally, Scott Equipment offers customization options to match specific production rates and process requirements.
