Volumetric Feeders fall into 3 categories:
Batch Feeders by controlling time a weight batch (Kg) is dosed.
Rate Feeders by controlling speed a variable speed rate (Kg/hr) is dosed.
Recipe Feeders by controlling both speed and time a variety of recipes can be delivered already mixed.
The RPM of the screw feeders can be adjusted by means of:
Continuous mechanical variable-speed motors with manual or electrical control: Minimum flow rate equal to 1/5 of maximum flow rate.
Continuous hydrostatic variable-speed motors with manual or electrical control: Flow rate having maximum value of approximately 0.
Gearmotors with motors piloted by vector inverters and additional power ventilation, when necessary, with minimum flow rate equal to at least 1/10 of maximum flow rate.
