Acrison’s ruggedly built Models 170-1-2 and 170-2-2 volumetric feeders incorporate a highly versatile metering mechanism featuring two independently driven metering augers for the accurate and reliable feeding of a diverse variety of dry solid ingredients over a wide feed range. The feeders’ architecture eliminates the undesirable requirement to change the size of the feeder’s metering auger whenever a feed range is required that cannot be effectively achieved by a single size auger. By incorporating two separate metering augers sized accordingly, a wide feed range is possible. Additionally, for batching applications, these feeders are able to provide both high and low feed outputs (rapid feed/dribble feed) to help facilitate the highest degree of batch accuracy. The feeders also feature a unique self-emptying design incorporating a discharge port to enable rapid and complete emptying.

The Food Defense Strategy Exchange (FDSE) is a forum for food defense professionals to interact and share their knowledge and experiences. At the most recent FDSE, a poll of attendees revealed that approximately two-thirds were either re-evaluating their existing food defense plan, or implementing new food defense plans. In this podcast, Don Hsieh, Director of Commercial and Industrial Marketing at Tyco Integrated Security, discusses this topic and other findings from the exchange, and offers some best practices to proactively protect a company’s brand from food adulteration.
