Model BDF Series Dry Solids Volumetric Feeders… with Acrison’s exclusive Dissimilar speed Triple Auger/Agitator Metering Mechanism
Overview
Acrison’s heavy duty Model BDF Series Volumetric Feeders feature a Dissimilar Speed, Triple Auger/Agitator Metering Mechanism designed to produce positive flow and feed of even the most difficult-handling dry solids materials. The multiple auger/agitator mechanism, operating at dissimilar speeds, produces positive flow-inducing internal (mechanical) agitation while simultaneously metering the product with a high degree of precision and reliability.
Features/Benefits
Unique Dissimilar Speed, Triple Auger/Agitator Metering Mechanism – conditions material to a very consistent state while efficiently and reliably filling the metering auger from a minimum of 320º
All Steel Construction – provides long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements
Range of Model Sizes – cover feed rates from 0.03 to 6600 cubic feet per hour
