Twin screw feeder for bulk material handling

Optimize your bulk material processing with a solution designed for precise feeding and dispensing, accommodating varying material flow characteristics, and ensuring consistent dosing in continuous and pilot operations.

Feeds and Dispenses Fine Powders and Microgranulates

The ZD 80 FB Twin Screw Feeder from Three-Tec GmbH is engineered for precise feeding and dispensing of fine powders, microgranulates, and bulk materials within industries like pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and food processing. With a throughput range of 40 to 13,500 liters per hour, it accommodates varying bulk densities from 0.15 to 2 kg/dm³, making it ideal for diverse applications such as producing talcum powder and vitamin supplements. The feeder’s bottom scraper ensures consistent material flow, reducing clogging. For seamless line integration, it supports both continuous and pilot operations, and offers customization options to adapt to specific process needs. Constructed with durable material, it provides corrosion resistance for longevity. Each feeder is configured with a PLC system to enable precise control and easy integration into existing automated systems, while complying with industry standards for quality and reliability.
