The Flex-Feed® Volumetric Feeder is designed to handle the most difficult to feed dry materials. From powders to pellets, with feed rates of up to 900 cubic feet per hour. Typical applications provide approximately 2-4% volumetric accuracy given consistent material bulk density and flow characteristics. Our patented Flex-Feed® polyurethane hopper with external agitation paddles, flexes the feed hopper to promote flow, condition the material, and help reduce and eliminate product degradation, rat-holing, or bridging. This also helps keep the auger full of material ensuring accurate volumetric feed rates.
These feeders are available in three sizes: The “5 Series” which is the smallest, with a 0.5 cubic foot capacity Flex-Feed® hopper, the “12 Series” offers a 1.2 cubic foot capacity, and the “28 series” is the largest with 2.8 cubic foot capacity. An extension hopper may also be added based on application requirements and customer preference.
To compliment this line, we also offer a Hard-Sided Volumetric Feeder for those who demand all steel construction, and do not require any agitation to promote the flow of the material.
The Flex-Feed® Volumetric Feeder can handle difficult materials and is available in three models. It features our patented Flex-Feed® polyurethane hopper with external agitation paddles that provide uninterrupted flow of material along with a single auger to provide uniform and accurate metering. This is the reliable workhorse you are looking for!
The Tecweigh High Turn Down series of Volumetric Feeders are designed with 40:1 turn downs to satisfy a range of rates. Both the S5A (shown) and the V10 (a QC10 without the bottom discharge) are designed to not only be flexible, but to perform for the long haul.
When no agitation is required, the Hard-Sided Volumetric Feeder provides a heavy-duty, stainless steel product contact surface, and Tecweigh’s patented cartridge drive bearing assembly.
