Rotary feeder for bulk material conveying
Enhance your material flow with precise metering and efficient conveying, ensuring optimal particle handling and reduced waste in your production processes.
Controls Bulk Material Flow and Distribution
The CFM and CFH Rotary Feeders from Zeppelin Systems are expertly designed for precision in metered discharge of pellets, powders, and bulk materials. Featuring a unique design, these feeders can operate under differential pressures up to 1.5 bar (g) while maintaining minimal gas leakage thanks to a 12-chamber rotor with optimal spacing. Widely used in the chemical, food, rubber, and tire industries, they effectively manage processes like bulk material distribution, feeding, and separation. With a high mechanical design pressure range of -1.0 to 10 bar (g) and temperature resistance from -20 to 90°C (up to 180°C as an option), these feeders ensure robust performance in continuous, high-speed operations. The equipment’s housing is available in high-quality cast aluminum or stainless steel, ensuring durability and corrosion resistance. Additional features like integrated leakage-gas nozzles, permanently lubricated external rolling bearings, and surface treatment make maintenance straightforward, while compliance with the EC Machinery Directive and ATEX guarantees adherence to safety standards. Customization options include rotor chambering, temperature control, and sealing gas protection, enabling tailored solutions for diverse industrial applications.
