Technologies
Nearly 30 years ago, Metalfab's personnel conceived and developed a unit that would guarantee flow of dry solids from bins without interruption to the flow. Although similar types of units were on the market at the time, the Metalfab unit was the only one that could assure flow through small outlets without the need for cycling the equipment. Metalfab was also innovative in developing a screw feeder with only five moving parts greatly reducing maintenance requirements and assured long life. Today, the company's revolutionary Meta-Techâ?¢ feeder utilizes only 2 moving parts.
