K-Tron is a global leader in the design, production, marketing and servicing of high-quality feeders, pneumatic conveying systems and related equipment for the handling of bulk solids in a wide variety of manufacturing processes.
No two process applications are the same, and K-Tron offers the widest range of materials handling solutions in the industry. All volumetric feeders, loss-in-weight feeders, weigh belts, flow meters and pneumatic conveying systems are offered in a variety of configurations. Volumetric and loss-in-weight feeders are available in single and twin screw configurations or as vibratory trays and liquid or solids pumps.
Volumetric Feeding Principle
The bulk material is discharged from a hopper with a constant volume per unit of time by regulating the speed of a feeding device.The actual volume of material fed is determined through calibration. The feeding accuracy is dependent on the uniformity of the material flow characteristics and the bulk density.
Applications: Simple, economical solutions where a high degree of feed rate accuracy is not required.
