Industrial rotary feeder for powder and agglomerates
Achieve seamless integration in your production line with a robust solution that manages the precise feeding and discharge of powdery and agglomerated materials, ensuring high torque and adaptability under differential pressure conditions.
Feeds and Discharges Powders with Cutting and Loosening Functions
The PFC Process Rotary Feeder from Zeppelin Systems is engineered to enhance the efficiency of feeding and discharging powders and agglomerated products, addressing high torque requirements with precision under differential pressures up to 1.5 bar (g). Its robust design, featuring a reinforced aluminum housing and stainless steel cutting application, ensures durability and process safety in demanding industrial environments.
Engineered for diverse applications, from rubber compounds to milk powder and acrylic paints, this rotary feeder handles continuous operations with automatic rotation reversal to prevent blockages. An integrated output assistant system injects gas to loosen material within the rotor pocket, maintaining smooth flow. Material handling is optimized with a wear-resistant stellite welded cutting edge.
The PFC rotary feeder accommodates extreme temperatures ranging from -20°C to +120°C and complies with ATEX certification, making it suitable for the food, rubber, and plastics industries. Maintenance is minimized through a simple mechanical seal design, precise gap construction, and absence of hydraulic components. Customizable configurations and options are available to meet specific production needs, ensuring seamless integration into existing processing lines.
