* Application
Volumetric feeding of free flowing powders and granules. Very hard
to handle powders (e.g. lumpy, moist or bridge building materials)
as well as fibers and flakes may need flow aid options.
The feeder can be upgraded to a loss-in-weight feeder system at
any time. * Design
Twin-shaft feeder with interchangeable feeding tools.
All parts in contact with the material being fed are stainless steel.
Feeding equipment is easy to dismantle. The horizontal agitator
ently moves bulk
material to the large throat and then into the discharge screws.
It is removable without tools. The horizontal agitator speed totals
20 % of the screw speed. * Controller: (see separate data sheet)
The K2-MV-T35 uses the microprocessor based DigiDrive DC closed
loop motor speed controller. The pulse width modulation eatures
of the DigiDrive controller allow the motor to run efficiently at
all speeds, increasing motor life and providing control accuracy
to ithin ±1 rpm. The simple user friendly interface allows
entry and isplay of feeder output in selectable engineering units.
Alarms are rogrammable. Setpoints can be stored.
* Feeder Screws and approximate Feed Rates
The configuration depends on the requested feed rate and the bulk
material.
Feed rate information
The feed rates stated serve only as a guide. They may deviate
significantly from the values given in the tables depending on
the bulk material used. Accurate feed rates only after a test
with the ulk material. The maximum values stated are based on
a DC motor speed of 2000 rpm and a screw filling of 90%. For continuous
operation it is recommended that the speed of the screw should
not drop below 5 rpm.
Feed rates when using AC motors
The feed rates may here be roughly estimated through a calculation
using the screw speeds. The standard speed range for a 1500 rpm
AC motor is 140 to 2000 rpm. Optionally also AC motors unning
at 1000 or 750 rpm are available. Screw speed range upon request.
