Twin-screw feeder delivers precise batch size

Edited by the Manufacturingtalk editorial team Jan 10, 2006

High-volume twin-screw feeder delivers precise batch size and weight by combining fast, high-volume filling with accurate dribble flow at the end of the cycle.

Bulk Equipment Systems Technology (B.E.S.T.)'s new Model TSF twin-screw feeder is designed for precise batching and weighing applications.

The feeder's dual-helix design combines fast, high-volume filling with accurate dribble flow at the end of the cycle.

Model TSF twin-screw feeder's compact design is ideal when limited space prohibits multiple individual screw units.

The two helixes - 1-1/2in and 4in in diameter - are mounted on an 18in x 22in hopper.

They are rated at 17ft3/h and 283ft3/h, respectively, at maximum rev/min with 100% efficient conveyable product and no slippage.

Model TSF's hopper inlet is fitted with air pads and an on/off pulse timer to ensure positive, uninterrupted flow to the helixes.

Regreasable lubricated bearings with air-purged shaft seals prevent any product leakage out the rear of the unit.

Ideal applications include batching to weigh-hoppers; low loss-in-weight scale-monitored flow; low loss-of-weight batch applications with scales; and, drum- and pail- packout lines.

It is also recommended for recipe-type batching by multiple units that are typically computer-controlled.

Available options include longer helix extensions, integral supply hoppers, explosion-proof motors and controls, gravimetric designs with integral scales, and portable bases on wheels with leveling jacks.
