Volumetric Feeder machines are compact, self-contained units, incorporating a vibrating bulk supply hopper and a vibratory through feeder. Both air and electric powered feeder machines are equipped with Independent variable controls for adjusting feeder flow rate. Special control features are available where timed feed rates or operation from a scale signal are required. These machines are used by industry to handle a wide variety of bulk materials. Applications include the controlled feeding of lime and other chemicals in water filtration and sewage disposal processes. In the pulp and paper industry, they are used to feed chemicals during the bleaching process.
The food processing industry uses feeder machines to sprinkle nuts, fruit and chocolate toppings onto cakes, muffins and ice cream products. In the packaging industry, these feeder machines are used to convey various ingredients to weighing systems for controlled packaging. The fastener industry handles small bolts, nuts, Screws and washers. Using our feeder machines which are remotely controlled by weight from a scale. Scale operated feeder machines are equipped with an automatic or manual, two station push button control. One button controls the fast speed to accomplish the major portion of the filling and the filling, and the second button controls the slow dribble fee that enables the operator or scale to stop the exact weight.
There are two principles used for feeders. These are characterized by their basic working method: feeders with forced drive vibrate at the frequency of the driving force, resonance feeders vibrate at the natural frequency of the spring – mass system.
The Power Pack systems works using forced vibration. The feeder tray is mounted on leaf springs and is excited at a freely selectable frequency and amplitude.
In contrast to many other feeder systems, the frequency and amplitude of Power Packs can be independently adjusted. They can therefore be adapted to suit a variety of specific requirements.
The stainless steel construction makes them suitable for application in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries.
Power Packs are corrosion – resistant, so there is no problem with using them in aggressive or damp environments.
In addition to the normal standard versions, Power Packs are also available in customized versions. Furthermore, all components can be supplied individually.
