Loss-in-weight feeder for poor flowing bulk solids
When working with extremely poorly flowing bulk solids in industries such as chemicals or fertilizers, ensuring consistent and accurate feeding can be a significant challenge. Traditional feeders may struggle with bridging and inconsistent flow, leading to production inefficiencies and potential downtime.
Ensure consistent mass flow with superior accuracy
The MechaTron Coni-Steel loss-in-weight feeder, developed by Schenck Process, is specifically designed to handle problematic bulk solids with poor flow characteristics. Featuring a conical hopper made from stainless steel and equipped with a vertical agitator, it ensures a constant mass flow by sweeping the entire inner surface of the hopper, preventing bridging. This results in precise feeding with an accuracy level better than +/- 0.5%. The system allows easy disassembly and reassembly of the feed hopper by a single person, enabling convenient product changes, cleaning, and maintenance from the non-process side. This design flexibility can save space and reduce downtime during these routine tasks.
