Single screw feeders, particularly at low rates, can have an unsteady feed rate within one revolution of
the screw, resulting in mass flow pulsation. Spiral or full flight single screw feeders exhibit this pulsation
more commonly than other screw configurations.
Premier Pneumatics' energy
efficient, dual tower
desiccant bed dryers
provide capacities of 50
to 4000 lb./hr. (22 to
1800 kg./hr.). Process air
with a – 40° F dew
point is guaranteed.
A wide range of
hopper sizes
are available as
well as a
choice of
voltages and a
high heat option.
Premier ProRate™/Gravimetric blenders
consist of one to eight ingredient
feeders and a microprocessor-based
controller.
The manual Bag Dump Station is designed to ensure a
clean, dust-controlled environment while making it
easy to unload material received in bags. As the
operator unloads material, the bag dump
station's fan draws dust-laden air away from
the operator with its direct drive fan.
Premier Diverter Valves direct material from one source to multiple
destinations. The cylindrical, cast housing provides a smooth, lowresistance
path for the conveying air and material. One outlet is in line
with the inlet, and the other is offset 30 degrees. the diverter valve is
ideal for use in pressure systems.
K-Tron can conduct tests with your process materials to answer critical
process questions and determine the best configuration of the feeding equipment
for a particular product or group of products.
Accurate feeding, batching and metering of bulk solids begins with
precision weighing. K-Tron pioneered vibrating wire technology for
the process industries, and today continues its leadership with
the Smart Force Transducer II and III.
The SFT II/III represent the leading edge of process weighing
technology and form a solid foundation for the continuing
evolution of the art and science of weighing.
The combined Feeder/Receiver unit is a combination of proven K-Tron feeding and conveying technology
based on the P-Series Receivers and K2M Feeders.
Originally designed for a Gain-in-Weight application with restricted head room requirements , this unit
has also been used successfully for direct loss-in-weight feeder refill where sticky or fluidizing powder
could cause problems with refill valves.
Keep your on-the-move workers connected, responsive and productive with the little device that offers big business functionality. This pocketable device puts the combined power of a mobile phone, notebook, camera and bar code scanner at the fingertips of your employees, in a durable device whose product life well exceeds that of the traditional consumer smartphone or PDA.
The Symbol DS3400 Series of rugged scanners brings high performance data capture to harsh industrial environments. Using digital imaging technology, this family of scanners quickly and accurately captures 1D and 2D bar codes, images and direct part marks.
The ActiFlow Smart Bulk Solids Activator reliably prevents bridge-building and ratholing of cohesive bulk materials in stainless steel hoppers, in loss-in-weight feeding applications, eliminating the need for mechanical vertical agitation.
Douglas Scale Parts Washers are designed to quickly and efficiently clean detachable scale parts such as buckets, chutes and feeder pans. Specialized wash racks can be loaded at the weigh station and transported to the washer for easy cleaning
The K-Tron Tablet Press Feeder offers an automated, nearly constant feed rate, offering uniform coating of the tablet tools and avoiding sticking problems. The benefits of its use include reduction in the consumption of stearate, lowering material and operating costs, and improved product quality.
In a modern production line centered around high-precision feeding equipment, operators are not just looking to reduce the number of vendors involved, but are ultimately searching for cost-effective and easy to maintain solutions. K-Tron has been meeting this challenge for years by bringing together their most experienced product engineers in Systems Engineering groups.
The WT4000 Series Wearable Terminal from Motorola empowers warehouse and package handling workers to achieve new levels of efficiency, productivity, and accuracy by bringing the most advanced computing and scanning technology to their fingertips in an ergonomic, wearable design. The hands-free system offers maximum flexibility, with headset support for voice picking, as well as mix and match connectors on either side of the device enabling the right- or left-handed scanning.
