Dosing system automatically meters powders into process
This vibratory feeder dosing system (photo) automatically meters precise amounts of powders into mixers, reactors, dryers, coolers, hoppers, pneumatic vacuum-conveying systems, and other process equipment. Accurate to within 1 g, depending on the material, the system features a proprietary pneumatic piston vibrator that sets the powder or other bulk material in a uniform layer across the dosing tray while gently advancing the material toward discharge in a first-in, first-out process. The potential for agglomeration is eliminated and particle integrity is assured. The system is available in sanitary, standard, explosion-protected and custom designs. — Volkmann USA, Bristol, Pa.
