Loss-in-weight feeder for flowable ingredients

Achieve precise ingredient delivery with this feeder, designed to handle a variety of flowable materials. Ideal for processes requiring accurate dosing, its flexible design allows quick adaptation to changing production needs, ensuring consistency and efficiency in your operation.

Accurately Doses and Feeds Flowable Solids

The FlexWall®Plus Loss-in-Weight Feeder from SPS Solids Process Solutions offers precise and reliable dosing and feeding for various industrial needs, including aquafeed, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. This universal feeder efficiently handles different flowable ingredients such as powders, pellets, and fibers, courtesy of its flexible polyurethane hopper and amplitude adjustable paddles that ensure consistent mass flow without ingredient degradation. Its compact trapezoidal design allows for the arrangement of up to six feeders around a single central feed point, optimizing space utilization in production lines. With interchangeable screws and screw tubes, the feeder quickly adapts to changing ingredients and feed rates, enhancing operational flexibility. Additionally, an optional hinged motor facilitates swift screw removal for maintenance, and a separate paddle motor enables precise paddle speed adjustment to manage difficult-flowing ingredients effectively. The high-tech weighing system ensures superior accuracy, making this equipment an indispensable asset in continuous, high-speed processing environments across various industries.
