SCREW FEEDER

A screw feeder is a device that controls the flow rate of material by moving it along a helical screw blade. It is commonly used to measure and control the flow of powders, granules, and other bulk materials in industrial environment. In the case of conveying of bulk materials which has material characteristics like free flowing by nature, which packs under pressure, which are very light and fluffy i.e., may be windswept and materials with very high temperature, in such cases belt feeders are not suitable only Screw Feeder are recommended. The Gravimetric Screw Feeder is custom engineered compact, enclosed and eco-friendly equipment that finds applications in continuous bulk proportioning of solids. This gravimetric feeder operated by a closed loop control system enables feeding at a controlled rate and exercises precise control over rate of flow. The system can accept external signals from other controllers or from the process computer, depending on the extent of plant instrumentation. These gravimetric feeders are in operation in cement, fertilizers and chemical industries.
