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
