This agitated screw feeder reaches a new size milestone
This company’s largest agitated screw feeder and screw conveyor produced to date (photo) was recently placed into service at a plastics-and-polymers facility. Capable of holding 3.5 tons of damp centrifuge cake, this stainless steel unit has a large-capacity hopper with multi-bladed agitator to provide gentle agitation to maintain a “live” product condition, disturb any potential consolidation and deliver positive infeed to the integral screw feeder. The screw feeder and conveyor both feature LynFlow ribbon flights, which inhibit adhesive materials from clogging the screw, says the company. — Ajax Equpment Ltd., Bolton, U.K.
