Volumetric feeder K Tron Process Group

In principle, volumetric feeding is the simplest, most economical feeding solution available. Bulk material is held in a hopper and constantly fed into a process per unit of time. A gravimetric feed rate may be inferred through a calibration process where a timed sample is taken and weighed, and screw speed adjusted accordingly. Although there is no weight feedback to assure feeding accuracy over time, this may not be a concern for materials with consistent bulk density.
K-Tron offers three choices in volumetric feeders: the highly accurate bulk solids pump (BSP), single screw feeders and twin screw feeders. K-Tron volumetric feeders come in a wide variety of of sizes and configurations to meet your application requirements.
