Compact modular feeders meet pharmaceutical needs
To meet the growing demands of pharmaceutical production that requires both continuous processing, and quick changeover and cleaning in batch operations, this company offers a wide range of highly accurate loss-in-weight screw feeders. The K3-PH feeder design (photo) features a modular concept with a reduced footprint, thanks to a smaller D4 platform scale that incorporates the company’s Smart Force Transducer (SFT) weighing technology. These loss-in-weight feeders have instrumentation, controls and optimized design options for continuous feeding of difficult-flowing pharmaceutical excipients and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), says the company. A variety of ancillary options are available. — Coperion K-Tron, Salina, Kan.
