A companion for the company’s pneumatic vacuum conveying systems, the Volkmann vibratory feeder dosing system automatically weighs precise amounts of powders, pellets, flakes, tablets, and other bulk materials and gently doses them into hoppers, mixers, pill counters, baggers, and vertical form/fill/seal machines.
The weigh feeder features a proprietary vibrator design that sets the powder or other material in a uniform layer while advancing the material toward discharge in a first-in, first-out process. Particle integrity is assured, and mixtures remain mixed without separation. Both the vibrating feeder and vacuum conveyor include stainless-steel construction in product contact areas for sanitary operations and are ATEX certified as explosion-proof by design as standard.
The feeder can be configured for loss-in-weight feeding, gain-in-weight feeding, and continuous metering to suit nearly any filling or packaging line. A weighing module is offered as an option, along with dust-tight connections, a sealed feeding tray, and other custom accessories.
