Multipurpose feed station for bulk solids

Optimize your production line with a versatile feeding station designed for simultaneous delivery of diverse bulk solids, ensuring precise and consistent mixture formation across high-speed operations.

Facilitates Precise High-Speed Feeding and Mixing

The MULTIGRAV Multiple Feed Station from Schenck Process is engineered to enhance efficiency in the plastics, chemicals, and carpet fiber industries. This versatile feed station excels by using a vibratory and gravimetric feeding system for continuous, high-speed mixing of bulk solids. Capable of processing an adjustable range of 1:80, it enables precise, simultaneous feeding across multiple modules, adaptable to a variety of tasks. The system supports up to eight modules, allowing for tailored configurations that meet specific industry requirements, such as polyethylene masterbatch production or nylon compound processing.

This equipment integrates seamlessly into existing production lines, offering PLC control and modular expandability for easy incorporation. It is particularly effective for applications involving granulates, stabilizers, and colorants, producing high-quality end-products like polypropylene fibers and recycled plastic pellets. With its compact design, the MULTIGRAV is both space-saving and environmentally efficient, using less energy due to advanced motor control technology.

Maintenance and cleaning are streamlined with the EasyClean feature, which facilitates quick and tool-free cleaning to minimize downtime and ensure product integrity during changeovers. Available in durable materials to withstand various chemical processes, the MULTIGRAV meets industry standards for robust, lasting performance. Custom engineering support is available for optimizing configurations to your specific operational needs.
