Versatile feeder handles a wide range of bulk solids
The MechaTron dry material feeder (photo) can handle a wide range of volumetric or gravimetric feeding applications for bulk solid materials, such as TiO2, talc and carbon black. Feed rates from 0.002 to 1,100 ft3/h can be achieved with the MechaTron. Complete disassembly from the non-process side of the feeder eliminates the need to remove upper extension hoppers, bins, bulk bags and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) to clean or maintain the feeder. Flexible or all-stainless-steel hoppers are available to accommodate any unique dry material feeding application. — Schenck Process LLC, Whitewater, Wis.
