Rotary Vane Metering Feeders

Rotary Vane Metering Feeders

Rotary Vane Metering Feeders or batch/filling applications has an inlet to ensure consistent material flow into the rotary drum and pneumatic evacuation technology for feeding, batching and filling, even with difficult flowing materials.

This feeder is optimized for continuous feeding and offers distinct advantages over typical screw and vibratory approaches.

Two innovative key components include an inlet specially designed to ensure consistent material flow into the rotary feed drum and “pneumatic evacuation,” to ensure reliable feeding, batching and filling even with difficult flowing materials.

Standard features include a compact and space-efficient design that assures ease of installation in new or existing process lines, as well as easy maintenance and disassembly for cleaning, without tools. It provides gentle metering and complete discharge of material, preventing segregation and degradation. Materials flow on a first-in, first-out basis, achieving mass flow. The feeder is available for volumetric or gravimetric systems in both gain-in-weight and loss-in-weight configurations.

The Rotary Vane Metering Feeder is said to be an alternative to screw feeders because there is no segregation, given that there is no friction, packing or dragging of materials — keeping your mix integrity and particle size distribution intact.
