Loss-in-weight feeder for poor flowing bulk solids
Efficiently handle poorly flowing bulk solids with unparalleled precision and reliability, ensuring constant mass flow and eliminating bridging to enhance your production line’s continuity and accuracy.
Ensures Precise Feeding of Bulk Solids
The MechaTron Coni-Steel Loss-in-Weight Feeder from Schenck Process is designed for precise and reliable feeding of challenging bulk solids. It features a stainless steel conical hopper with steep walls and a vertical agitator that ensures consistent mass flow, preventing material bridging. This feeder is ideal for applications in the chemical, battery, catalyst, and food processing industries, supporting end products like lithium-ion battery cathodes, polyurethane adhesives, and dry pet kibble. With accuracy better than +/- 0.5%, it integrates seamlessly into continuous, automated operations, complementing gravimetric and volumetric feeding systems. The design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, with components that can be disassembled and reassembled by one person, enhancing production line efficiency. Available material options support a variety of corrosive environments, making it well-suited for industries requiring stringent hygiene and corrosion resistance.
