Small-scale twin-screw feeder for powder handling
In industries dealing with powder processing, the challenge often lies in consistent feeding of poorly flowing materials that tend to clump or cake on hopper walls. Ensuring even flow and preventing bridging is essential for maintaining process efficiency.
Feeds poorly flowing powders with precision
The ZD 5 FB from Three-Tec is a compact twin-screw feeder with a unique flat-bottom design. It addresses challenges associated with feeding free-flowing or poorly flowing powders prone to bridging or caking. The system features a 5 mm diameter metering tool, powered by a stepper motor, allowing precise control over feed rates ranging from 0.003 to 1.45 l/h. It is notably lightweight, weighing approximately 6 kg with a potentiometer and 8 kg with logo! or S7-1500 controls. Its hopper has a standard volume of 0.1 liters and operates at speeds between 1 and 500 min-1. This feeder is ideal for applications requiring precise, low-throughput powder dosing in laboratory or small-scale production environments.
