Horizontal bale feeder for high viscosity rubbers
Efficiently process full rubber bales into granules or compound materials, achieving consistent output with minimal variation, thanks to advanced pressure-sensitive technology and dual drive systems. Ideal for streamlined compounding or pelletizing workflows.
Processes Full Rubber Bales into Pellets
The Horizontal Bale Feeder from The Bonnot Company is engineered to address the challenges of processing high-viscosity rubber bales into pellets or for direct compounding. Featuring a dual drive system and pressure-sensitive screw geometry, it ensures precise output control with variations as low as +/- 1% when equipped with a gear pump. This feeder is ideal for applications in the rubber, polymer, and chemical industries, producing end-products like thermoplastic pellets and compounded rubber sheets. With a processing capacity that ranges from 50 to 4000 lbs/hour across its RF Series models, it seamlessly integrates into continuous operations. Designed for energy efficiency, it utilizes high-torque gear motors, while its modular crossover design enhances maintenance access. Customization options are available, with engineering support to tailor the feeder for specific production needs.
