Volumetric feeder

Vibra Screw Inc, a leading manufacturer of equipment and systems for precision processing of dry materials, has announced availability of their new Type LBB volumetric feeder. A hybrid that combines the accuracy of a weigh feeder with the economic simplicity of a volumetric device, the feeder"s unique design combines the positive hoppering feature of an on board bin activator with a patented nozzle that uniformly delivers material to the feeder"s belt. Accuracies of ?1 2% over feed ranges up to 100 to 1 are routine and guaranteed. The feeder"s design is also simple compared to complex weigh feeders and initial, start up and maintenance costs are significantly less. Type LBB volumetric feeders handle nearly any bulk material and offer a distinct advantage with abrasive, waxy and pressure sensitive materials including chemicals, soaps, pigments, and food stuffs. With no internal moving parts, the units feed without material degradation. The concept of controlled vibration to condition and drive bulk materials into and through a process is the underlying design principle incorporated into all of the its products.
