Loss in Weight Feeders -

Simultaneously fill and feed

Robust and reliable system design is the key to repeatable accuracy, our systems can deliver in tolerance batches time and again. We incorporate precise monitory flow control and measurement, managed by our user friendly recipe control system.

Loss in weight feeders are what we primarily use to achieve the repeatable accuracy on our systems. Allowing our systems to be continuously filled and discharged simultaneously meaning zero waiting time.

How it Works

Loss in Weight Feeders combine a feeding device such as a screw feeder, an electronic weighing system and control system to create a gravimetric or volumetric feeder. This combination can control the set material flow rate based on the weight of the product rather than its volume. As material flows from the feeding mechanism, weight measurements are fed continuously to the control system that then adjusts the feed devices rate to ensure that material is fed accurately as required

Loss-in-weight systems only perform optimally when a appropriately designed refill system feeding into them is implemented.

Flexible polyurethane hopper agitated by amplitude adjustable paddles for consistent screw filling and mass flow of ingredient without degradation

Interchangeable screws and screw tubes allowing quick adjustment to changing ingredients and feed rates

Optional separate paddle motor to allow paddle speed adjustment for difficult flowing ingredients

Universal - for virtually all flowable ingredients (powders, pellets, flakes, fibers, etc.)
