A powder feeder is a device that controls the flow rate of powdered materials in a conveying system. It accurately meters the powder out of a storage silo or hopper and into the conveying line.
Features:
- Controlled flow rate: Ensures consistent and precise material delivery.
- Various types: Screw feeders, vibratory feeders, and volumetric feeders cater to different material properties and flow characteristics.
- Material compatibility: Available in materials suitable for various powders, including food-grade and corrosive materials.
- Integration: Designed to integrate seamlessly with different conveying systems.
Uses:
- Metering powder accurately: Crucial for precise dosing in various industries like pharmaceuticals, food, and chemicals.
- Preventing blockages: Ensures smooth powder flow and avoids system disruptions.
- Optimizing conveying efficiency: Controls material flow for efficient operation.
- Regulating dust generation: Minimizes dust emission during powder handling.
