Volumetric twin screw feeder for powder and micro-granules

Optimize your production flow by ensuring consistent and precise feeding of challenging materials like fine powders and micro-granules, crucial for achieving uniform product quality and efficient downstream processing.

Dispenses and Meters Powders and Micro-Granules

The ZD 32 B, developed by Three-Tec GmbH, is an engineered-to-order volumetric twin screw feeder designed to tackle the precise metering and dispensing of powders and micro-granules across various industries. Unique for its bridge breaker, this feeder ensures the consistent flow of even poorly flowing materials. Suitable for manufacturing environments demanding precision, it operates with a throughput ranging from 8.7 to 2,460 liters per hour.

The ZD 32 B is equipped with an AC motor, available in horizontal or vertical discharge configurations, to integrate seamlessly into various production lines. It’s particularly relevant in pharmaceutical, chemical, and food processing sectors, where exact dispensing of materials like pharmaceutical powders, vitamin supplements, and metal alloy powders is critical. Constructed for energy efficiency, the feeder’s design minimizes operational interruptions and supports both manual and volumetric operations. The equipment can be tailored with different metering tool sizes, and its construction in resistant materials offers durability and compatibility with a range of chemical environments.
