Bulk Solids Metering Solutions For Plastics Manufacturers
Maximum versatility, small footprint.
The newest Mechatron dry material feeders from Schenk AccuRate, Whitewater, Wis., offer complete disassembly from the non-process side of the feeder, which eliminates the need to remove upper extension hoppers, bins, bulk bags, and IBCs to clean or maintain the unit.
Visitors to the recent NPE 2009 show in Chicago were looking for materials handling equipment that could do more than dry, blend, or convey resins. It had to do those things while saving energy, providing faster and easier maintenance, speeding product changeovers, reducing labor cost, minimizing waste, and providing better value for money. The new products cited below addressed those needs and more.
New PureFeed AI-300 feeder from Schenck AccuRate, Whitewater, Wis., is designed for metering additives at rates as low as 1.1 lb/hr, though larger feed augers are available for up to 330 lb/hr.
Designed specifically for extruder manufacturers and compounders, the new ProFlex® C 500 feeder packs maximum versatility into a very space and cost efficient package that?s easy to operate, reconfigure, clean, and service.
Designed for flexibility in mounting and clustering, the new ProFlex C feeder permits interchanging the drive-motor and material-discharge positions.
Volumetric and gravimetric feeders from Schenck AccuRate, Whitewater, Wis., now can have optional Bluetooth wireless technology.
A single-feeder operator interface with lighted touchscreen LCD display is new from Schenck AccuRate, Whitewater, Wis.
NPE 2006 held no revolutionary changes in dryers, blenders, feeders, loaders, or conveying controls, but widely adopted improvements make the newest models easier to use and maintain—and easier on the budget, too.
Dryers, feeders, blenders, loaders, metal detectors, level sensors, mechanical and pneumatic conveyors, silos, bins, pumps, filters, valves, box fillers, bag dumpers, and materials-handling control systems constitute one of the biggest categories of products on display at NPE.
From pneumatic systems that deliver materials to the processing machine to conveyors and handling devices that pull parts out the back, the trend appears to be “smaller and smarter.” NPE 2000 will show lots of downsized auxiliaries designed for mini processing machines, as well as more compact equipment of every size that frees up floor space.
