Overview
Feeding systems for Banbury mixers manage the accurate, continuous and automated supply of raw materials into Banbury mixers used in rubber compound production. Proper feeding reduces downtime, ensures repeatable batch composition and supports material traceability.

Key benefits

• Consistent product quality: precise dosing produces homogeneous rubber compounds.
• Increased throughput: automated feeding enables continuous operation and reduces manual interruptions.
• Lower operating costs: optimized material handling minimizes waste and improves process efficiency.
• Improved safety and cleanliness: closed transfer and sealed storage reduce dust and spillage.

Products and services provided

• Raw material storage and silos: tailored silo solutions for secure and space-efficient storage of powders, granules and additives.
• Pneumatic conveying systems: vacuum and pressure conveying options for dust-free, enclosed transport of materials to the Banbury mixer.
• Dosing and feeding equipment: gravimetric and volumetric dosing units and feeders that deliver precise proportions with automatic control.
• Process automation and integration: PLC/SCADA solutions for coordinated storage, transport and feeding with real-time monitoring and data logging.

Sectoral applications

• Rubber manufacturers: stable dosing for homogeneous compound preparation.
• Automotive industry: controlled supply of elastomers and additives for tyre and component production.
• Construction & building materials: dosing solutions for rubber-based seals, membranes and profiles.
• Electrical & electronics: reliable handling of materials for rubber coatings and insulating components.
