Models 105 and 140 Series Dry Solids Volumetric Feeders… with Acrison’s exclusive Dissimilar Speed, Double Concentric Auger Metering Mechanism
Overview
Acrison’s heavy duty Model 105 and 140 Series Volumetric Feeders feature a unique, Dissimilar Speed, Double Concentric Auger Metering Mechanism designed to accurately and reliably meter an unparalleled variety of dry solids materials. The metering mechanism consists of a large “Conditioning Auger” or Intromitter, concentrically mounted around a smaller “Metering Auger”, independently driven at dissimilar speeds in a “fixed proportion” to each other by a single variable speed single gearmotor drive.
Features/Benefits
Unique Dissimilar Speed, Double Concentric Metering Mechanism – conditions material to a very consistent state while efficiently and reliably filling the metering auger from a full 360º
Common Drive Network – mechanically links the slower speed conditioning auger and metering auger with a single, variable speed AC or DC gearmotor drive.
All Steel Construction – provides long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements
Range of Model Sizes – cover feed rates from 0.06 to 3400cubic feet per hour
