Theoretical values referring to a screw filling level and a motor
speed of 100% each. Depending on the flow characteristics the screw
filling level may decrease down to 50%, particularly if poorly
flowing ingredients are fed. In gravimetric applications, i. e. as
part of a loss-in-weight feeder, further feed rate reductions have
to be taken into account because part of the upper motor speed range
is required to balance bulk density variations. To identify the
optimum feeder for your specific ingredient and required feed rate
we recommend to make use of our automatic feeder selection program
"FeederScout". |
