Loss-in-weight feeder for bulk solids
Ensure precise and reliable dosing of bulk solids with a compact feeder that eliminates flow interruptions, achieving exceptional accuracy for continuous production lines.

Ensures Precise Feeding of Bulk Solids
The MechaTron Coni-Flex Loss-in-weight Auger Feeder from Schenck Process is engineered to provide reliable and precise feeding of bulk solids in demanding applications. This feeder features a conical hopper design with flexible walls and external discharging aids to prevent bridging and ensure consistent product flow. Tailored for industries such as chemical production, plastics manufacturing, and food ingredients, it supports end products like lithium-ion battery materials and biodgradable plastics.
Using its integrated DISOCONT control system, the Coni-Flex enables highly accurate feeding with an accuracy better than +/- 0.5%. This system simplifies operation and maintenance with easy disassembly for swift product changeovers, reducing downtime. Capable of continuous, automatic operation, the feeder integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, minimizing feed variability and maintaining precision in continuous processing conditions.
Constructed with material options suitable for various industry needs, it offers solutions for environments requiring compliance with stringent standards, ensuring durability and safety. For manufacturers seeking customized solutions, engineering support is available to adapt the feeder to specific operational requirements.
