Volumetric Metering Device Comparison

Device

Accuracy

Screw Feeder


  • The volume of one complete flight of the auger

 

Rotary Feeder

  • The volume of one complete pocket of the rotor

Belt Feeder

  • Bed depth of material on the belt
  • Diameter of the discharge rotor
  • Belt speed

Vibratory Feeder

  • The material delivered during dribble is not consistent due
    to bed depth of material and material characteristics
  • The bed of the material must be deep in order to
    deliver fast/dribble feed

Rotary Scalpel™

  • Large inlet opening fills rotary vanes uniformly
  • Dribble feed is inherently most accurate due to the unique
    feature of delivering an adjustable finite volume of one vane
    of the rotating feed drum
  • Not dependent upon angle of repose
  • Ideal Flow Rate (IFR) since material inlet is configured to
    promote IFR in harmony with material flow characteristics
  • Accuracies of < ±0.5 grams are achievable
