Powder feeder for consistent mixing in pan coating processes
Ensure precise dosing and mixing of pharmaceutical powders with this robust powder feeder, ideal for maintaining homogeneity and preventing separation during complex coating processes.

Mixes and Doses Pharmaceutical Powders
The PF series powder feeders from Hoopman Equipment & Engineering are meticulously designed to support the rigorous demands of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical production. These feeders specialize in mixing and dosing operations to ensure consistent homogeneity for tablet coating, vitamin supplements, and protein powder blends. The PF35, PF38, and PF45 models incorporate a continuous mixing blade that prevents ingredient separation, transporting powders with uniform flow through integrated mortar systems.
Commonly applied in pharmaceutical excipient preparation and fine chemical processing, these feeders excel in both continuous and batch operations. Engineered for compatibility, they seamlessly integrate into existing production lines, complementing fluid bed dryers and pan coaters.
With adjustable dosing rates, the PF series caters to diverse processing requirements while reducing energy consumption. Constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, they are available with custom configurations to suit specific production needs. Compliant with GMP standards, these feeders facilitate easy cleaning and maintenance, crucial for maintaining product integrity in high-stakes manufacturing environments.
