Loss In Weight Feeder

Loss-in-Weight Feeder Application

Use K-Tron's modular loss-in-weight feeders for materials with varying bulk density and for material handling automation. Loss-in-weight gravimetric feeders are the best choice for long term accuracy, repeatability and quality documentation, and where dust control is a concern.

Quick Change Single/Twin Screw Loss-in-Weight Feeders

Quick Change loss-in-weight feeders are specially designed for applications requiring the maximum possible material handling and changeover flexibility.

Materials Fed Single Screw Loss-in-Weight Feeders: Single screw loss-in-weight feeders handle free-flowing materials such as pellets and powders.

Materials Fed Twin Screw Loss-in-Weight Feeders: Twin screw loss-in-weight feeders handle more difficult materials such as pigments, sticky, bridging or flooding powders, fiber and fiberglass.

Vibratory Loss-in-Weight Feeder Models

Materials Fed: Vibratory loss-in-weight feeders are recommended for free-flowing abrasive or friable materials and fiberglass.

Bulk Solids Pump (BSP) Loss-in-Weight Feeder Models

Materials Fed: The Bulk Solids Pump loss-in-weight feeders are best for free-flowing pellets and granules. They offer exceptionally high accuracy, easy cleaning and low maintenance.

Loss-in-Weight Feeder Control Options

All K-Tron loss-in-weight feeders come with the SmartConnex Feeder Control Environment. Operator interface options include:
KSU single loss-in-weight feeder control.
KSL single line control (up to 8 gravimetric feeders).
KSC multi-line control (up to 30 gravimetric feeders and up to 8 lines).

Other Loss-in-Weight Feeder Options

Hazardous Areas: K-Tron provides loss-in-weight feeders that can meet area classifications according to American or European standards.

Shear Hopper for Modular loss-in-weight feeders. The shear hopper reliably prevents bridge-building of cohesive bulk materials. This special hopper can be used with all K2 Modular Loss-in-Weight Feeders in place of the standard 4D hoppers.
