Micro-batch feeders for powder and granular material

Struggling with clog-prone powders? Gain precise control and consistency in your feed and dosing operations with dynamic micro-batch feeders, designed to handle challenging materials and maintain seamless flow in complex production lines.

Feeds and Agitates Powders and Granules Accurately

The MBF Micro-Batch Feeder with Agitator from WAMGROUP is designed for efficient feeding and agitation of powders and granules, addressing flow and clogging issues. Its steel-reinforced SINT engineering polymer body can be fully made in stainless steel, ensuring durability and resistance to corrosion. The equipment features independent drive units for both the agitator and feeder screw, allowing for tailored speed and power settings to suit specific material characteristics. Particularly suitable for industries like food processing, plastics, chemicals, and building materials, it excels in precision feeding of challenging materials used in products such as bread flour, rubber sheets, and paint. With feed rates ranging from 3 dm3/h to 4,000 dm3/h and options for food-grade compliance and ATEX certification, the MBF is both versatile and reliable. Its design facilitates easy maintenance and cleaning, with modular components for adaptability, making it an ideal choice for continuous volumetric feeding operations.

Benefits
