Rotary Scalpel Metering Feeders
Rotary Scalpel Metering Feeders introduces a unique and revolutionary technology to the batching and filling process industries.It is recommended for applications requiring exceptional precision and ultimate process optimization.
Technology
Rotary scalpel technology utilizes two innovative key components: a large inlet specially designed to ensure consistent material flow into the rotary feed drum and a pneumatic scalpel. Upon receipt of a set point weight, the pneumatic scalpel will knife off from a filled vane of the rotary feed drum the precise amount of material needed to complete a batch or fill a container.Unneeded material remaining in the same vane is recycled back to the material source, eliminating all waste. Rotary scalpel technology is the only metering technology that delivers a variable but finite volume of material to finalize the batch or fill process. All other solids metering devices take the approach of narrowing the flow channel of inlets, trays,screws, etc. to reduce volume to be delivered. All these restrictions lead to inconsistent flow of the material. Rotary scalpel technology is free of these limitations.
