Volumetric twin-screw feeder for poorly flowing powders
For manufacturers dealing with powders that clump or cake, this feeder ensures precise and complete material discharge, optimizing your production efficiency.

Feeds and Dispenses Clump-Prone Powders
The ZD 32 FB volumetric twin-screw feeder from Three-Tec GmbH is engineered to address the challenge of accurately feeding powders that tend to clump or cake. Featuring a flat-bottom design and a bottom scraper, it ensures efficient and thorough discharge, preventing material bridging and allowing for a consistent flow of difficult-to-handle materials such as pharmaceutical powders, fine chemicals, and metal powders.
With throughput capabilities ranging from 8.7 to 3,135 liters per hour depending on motor configuration, it integrates seamlessly into continuous processing lines across the pharmaceutical, chemical, biotechnology, and food industries. The feeder offers flexibility with both AC three-phase and servo motor options, enabling precise control over feeding rates. Constructed from robust materials, the ZD 32 FB is available in options that cater to specific regulatory requirements, ensuring compliance with industry standards.
Maintenance is straightforward with easy access to components, while its compact design supports integration into both processing and pre-processing stages. This feeder is an ideal solution for applications such as vitamin C powder production, detergent blending, and mineral supplement dosing.
