Vibratory feeder for dosing powders and bulks
Ensure precise feeding of powders and bulk materials with a system that integrates seamlessly into your automated process, achieving accuracy up to 1g per cycle and handling up to 1000 kg/h.
Precise Dosing and Continuous Feeding
The Dosing Chute / Vibratory Feeder from Volkmann is engineered to streamline your material handling processes. This equipment stands out for its ability to provide precise, gram-accurate dosing and continuous feeding, addressing common challenges in pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and additive manufacturing industries. It operates by integrating a vibratory mechanism for gentle and consistent material flow, making it ideal for handling a wide range of powders and bulk materials. With a processing capacity of up to 1000 kg/h, it can convert discontinuous operations into continuous ones, enhancing productivity. Automation is facilitated through a combination with vacuum conveyor systems and material buffers, ensuring smooth integration into existing production lines. The feeder is available in open or closed hygienic designs, suitable for application-specific needs, and constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel (AISI 304 or 316), compliant with international safety standards. Its easy-to-clean design and optional dust-tight construction make it particularly advantageous for environments requiring high hygiene levels or explosion risk prevention. Additionally, this equipment can be customized in dimensions to fit diverse production requirements, supported by Volkmann’s engineering expertise.
