Twin shaft feeder for optimized material feeding

Achieve precise material flow and optimize downstream processing with advanced twin shaft technology, ensuring consistent feed rates and enhanced production efficiency.

Controls Material Feed for Extrusion and Processing

The Twin Shaft Feeders from The Bonnot Company are designed to provide a controlled material feed for extrusion and processing applications. What sets these feeders apart is their variable pitch knives, allowing for customizable residence time and feed rate adjustments, essential for continuous or variable-pitch operations. Ideal for industries such as chemical, food processing, and rubber, they handle a variety of product types including solids, powders, and granules. Typical applications include feeding bulk molding compounds, carbon materials, and rubber extrusions, leading to end-products like molded plastic parts and automotive catalytic converters. The feeders integrate seamlessly into production lines, featuring direct connect gear motors and sealed gear cases for durability, while offering custom bases and orientation to fit existing setups. With processing capabilities tailored through integrated controls, these feeders ensure optimized flow and material consistency, critical for maintaining downstream processing efficiency.

Benefits

  • Enhances production efficiency with customizable feed rates for optimal material consistency.
  • Reduces downtime through durable construction and easily replaceable components.
  • Integrates seamlessly with existing extrusion processes, minimizing footprint and installation time.
  • Offers precise temperature management with optional jacketed feed beds.
  • Minimizes energy consumption through efficient direct connect gear motor operation.
