K-Tron Feeder
|
Product |
Feeding Solution |
Application |
|
|
Modular loss-in-weight feeders
Models:
Twin screw
Single screw
Vibratory Liquid |
Gravimetric feeding for varying density, material handling automation, long term accuracy, repeatability and quality documentation, and where dust control is a concern |
|
|
Bulk Solids Pump feeders:
Models:
Volumetric and Loss-in-Weight Models:
BSP-100
BSP-135
BSP-150 |
Precise volumetric feeding of free flowing bulk materials, e.g. pellets & granules. The feeder can be upgraded to a loss-in-weight feeder system at any time. |
|
|
Microfeeder and Compact feeders for very low feed rates
Models:
Twin screw (microfeeder and compact feeders)
Single screw
Vibratory
Liquid |
The Microfeeder and Compact loss-in-weight feeders are optimized for laboratory applications, pilot projects, or feeding minor ingredients with high accuracy and recipe repeatability. Use the Microfeeder for feed rates as low as 0.04 dm³/hr (0.0014 ft³/hr). Use Compact Feeders for any low feed rate application where space is limited and high accuracy and recipe repeatability are required |
|
|
Smart weigh belt feeders
with continuous online,
auto tare
Models:
SWB 300
SWB 600
|
Gravimetric feeding at higher feed rates or where low headroom is a problem. Especially at high feed rates, a weigh belt feeder offers lower initial cost than a loss-in-weight feeder with equal throughput. |
|
|
|
High accuracy gravimetric feeding of liquids
|
|
|
Smart flowmeter with SFT weighing for high rate mass flow control
Models:
KSF 275
KSF 350 |
Metering, monitoring or totalization of bulk material flows, or as feeder in high rate applications
|
|
|
|
Compact design and low space requiremnents allow four to six feeders with K-Tron PCS vacuum receivers to be easily grouped around an extruder inlet. A wide varity of standard feeders, including the Bulk Solids Pump (BSP), can be integrated onto the K4G single-point weighing system.

|
K-Tron Feeder Controls
|
|
Model: |
KCM - K-Tron Control Module |
Application: |
With the SmartConnex control system, the control and motor drive modules of a feeder are combined into one component and are integrated directly into the feeder. Instead of a central control panel, each feeder has its own K-Tron Control Module (KCM). |
 
Weighing
|
Model: |
SFT - K-Tron Smart Force Transducer |
Application: |
The SFT Smart Force Transducer, operating under compression, provides accurate, stable and reliable digital load measurement under a broad range of operating conditions.
Every SFT provides a true
1 : 4,000,000 weight resolution and comes with 5 years warranty
|
|
Model: |
|
Application: |
The weigh bridge is part of a K-TRON loss-in-weight feeder. It is equipped with a K-SFT sensor. The SFT Smart Force Transducer, operating under compression, provides accurate, stable and reliable digital load measurement under a broad range of operating conditions. |
