 Application
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.
Design
The BSP feeder has a vertical rotating disc that creates a product lock-up zone conveying the material smoothly from storage hopper to outlet. True, linear mass flow is achieved. Because there are no pockets or screws the feeder is cleaned in seconds. This device utilizes the principal known as lock-up.
Volumetric Model
Materials Fed: free-flowing pellets and granules.

Other Options
Hazardous Areas:
K-Tron provides equipment that can meet area classifications according to American or European standards.
Control Options
All K-Tron loss-in-weight feeders come with the SmartConnex Feeder Control Environment. Operator interface options include:
KSU single feeder control.
KSL single line control (up to 8 feeders).
KSC multi-line control (up to 30 feeders and up to 8 lines).
Weigh Feeder Accuracy
Weigh feeder accuracy is a measure of how closely a feeder discharges material at the desired flow rate. A complete expression of accuracy includes measurements of repeatability and linearity. Repeatability measures the extent of discharge variability at a given flow rate. Linearity gauges the deviation of average flow rate over the feeder’s full operating range.
