K-Tron to Unveil MT16 Micro-ingredient Feeder Design at Interphex 2013
April 7, 2013
Feeder line has been expanded to include interchangeable MT12 mm and MT16 mm twin-screw feeding modules.
K-Tron will introduce a new MT16 micro-ingredient feeder at Interphex 2013 taking place April 23-25 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York. The new micro-ingredient feeder includes several design upgrades to increase accuracy and performance, including a design feature that allows interchangeable feeding modules.
K-Tron’s micro-ingredient feeder line has been expanded to include interchangeable MT12 mm and MT16 mm twin-screw feeding modules, or MS12 mm and MS16 mm single-screw feeder modules. The interchangeable twin to single-screw feed modules provide versatility to handle a broad range of materials from powders to granular materials.
The overall feed-rate capacity is from 0.02 dm³ / hour to 27 dm³ / hour. The new design allows for extended screw profiles, with a smaller overall footprint, allowing for closer discharge dimensions. The new design is suitable for multi-ingredient cluster arrangements.
The MT16 micro-ingredient feeder handles feeding high-value /high-cost additives in any food, pharmaceutical, plastics and chemical process that require second to second performance with a high degree of accuracy. Typical applications include feeding jet mills, continuous extrusion processes and any application where expensive micro ingredients require accurate feeding.
Many facilities handle dangerous processes and products on a daily basis. Keeping everything under control demands well-trained people working with the best equipment.
