The Brabender ScrewDisc® Feeding Principle

Novel metering technique for pellets and free flowing bulk ingredients

The Technology

● Rotating disc mounted vertical screw with
vertical PUR insert serving as screw tube

● Feed unit slewable after lowering

● Interchangeable screws and PUR inserts

The Advantages

● Virtually 100% screw filling

● Turndown ratio up to 100:1

● Recipe changeover without tools

● Quick emptying-out and cleaning

Feeders		Max. theoretical feed rate (dm³/hr)*
Volumetric feeders (without scales)	Loss-in-weight feeders (with scales)	Vertical screw (VS)
---	DDW-MS3[5]-SD50-30[45]	1000
---	DDW-MS6-SD100-120[200]	5600
* The max. feed rates are theoretical values referring to a filling level and a motor speed of 100% each. Depending on the flow characteristics the screw filling level may decrease. Due to the gravimetric application as a loss-in-weight feeder, further feed rate reductions have to be taken into account because a part of the upper motor speed range is required to balance bulk density variations.
