Reference Guide: Acrison's Guide for Evaluating Dry Solids Feeding Equipment
|
From Acrison, Inc.
When evaluating a dry solids feeder manufacturer, with the intent to purchase equipment, there are a number of factors that should be taken into consideration before making a decision. The following is a list of those items that require careful evaluation.
I. SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS
1. Feed Rates:
a) Minimum, average and maximum rates are important design criteria which need to be considered carefully when selecting a feeder.
2. How will the material get to the feeder?
(Example: manually, pneumatically, live bottom, conveyor, other?) a) Does the means of filling the feeder affect the product characteristics in any way (densify, fluidize, degrade, etc.)?
3. What will the feeder discharge into?
Check for presence of moisture, pressure, extreme temperature, etc., that can possibly affect performance, or cause mechanical difficulties.
Products & Services
Solids feeders are used to deliver powder, granular and other bulk solid materials along a process line, or to and from process units, storage bins, conveyors and product packaging.
Stock and strip feeders supply continuous or discrete lengths of bar, strip, wire or other stock to a machine tool.
Bulk materials loaders and unloaders are used to fill and remove powders, granular substances and other bulk solids from bags, bins, boxes, carts, drums, hoppers, railcars, trucks, and silos. They often include solids feeders and break down clumps or arches to allow for the more uniform distribution of bulk materials.
Parts feeders are machines that orient parts so that robots or other automated processes can capture and use or package the parts or components.
Filling machines and packing machines fill containers such as bags, bottles, and cans with a predetermined volume of product, such as food, cosmetics, or medicine.
