Loss In Weight Feeder

The Loss-In-Weight feeders work using the principle of controlled lightening. The hopper with its extraction device (screw) is installed on a weighing system giving continuously to the controller the measure of weight. The loss of weight by time unit (measuring sampling time) represents the actual proportioning flow rate.

  • LOSS IN WEIGHT FEEDERAccuracy: +/- 0,5 %.
  • Flow range from 12 l/h to 14 m3/h.
  • Accuracy constency.
  • Entirely tight system : no environmental impact.
  • Less maintenance.
  • No need for live material trial.
  • Few wearing parts.
  • Manual or automatic refill.
  • Horizontal stirrer in lower part that ensures material homogeneity. (Option: vertical stirrer for bad flowing products).
  • Bearing at screw outlet for a better centering in the tube (less cantilever).
  • Enforced tightness by glands, chicanes, and 4 teflon braids.
  • Inspection door in lower part for eventual replacement of horizontal stirrer without dismantling the whole feeder.
  • Execution: Steel S235-JRG2, stainless steel 304 and 316.
