The unique combination of vertical-wall supply hopper, preconditioning trough/chamber containing a special horizontal agitator (optional), accounts for the Model MSF superior performance and reliability.
The Model MSF is designed for fast, easy and thorough clean out. Feeder completely disassembles without tools in less than one minute. High quality, rugged, stainless steel construction assures years of reliable, trouble free operation even in the most severe industrial environments.
An important factor in achieving high accuracy using volumetric screw feeders is consistent material bulk density. This can be achieved by a properly designed and selection agitator located in the conditioning zone of the feeder trough. The agitator de-aerates the material to a uniform density and breaks any bridges or rat holes. This combination with a wide section of agitator designs allows a greater cross-section of materials to be fed very accurately. |
Key Benefits:
- Dependable and Reliable Feeding
- Wide Range of Capacities
- Easy to clean
- Low noise
- Economical operation
- Life-long lubrication
