Solids Feeders
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.
Bulk Material Loaders and Unloaders
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.
Stock and Strip Feeders
Stock feeders and strip feeders supply continuous or discrete lengths of bar, strip, wire or other stock to a machine tool.
Solids Flow Meters
Solids flow meters measure the flow rate of bulk solids, powders, grain, etc.
Solid and Dry Film Lubricants
Solid and dry film lubricants form a dry layer or coating that excludes moisture and reduces friction, binding, and wear. They often contain additives such as corrosion, oxidation, and rust inhibitors.
