Metalfab’s Better-Weigh continuous feeders work in gravimetric feeding applications of dry bulk materials where it is necessary to determine actual feed rates on a loss-of-weight basis. Available in seven models with feed rates from 1 to 550 cu. ft. per hr. (larger sizes available), the units provide feeding in either batch or continuous mode depending upon the arrangement of the feeder’s control electronics. In batch mode, the batch controller is used to control the fast (bulk) and slow (dribble) speeds of the feeder. Accuracies of +/-0.5% can be achieved in 2-lb. (or less) batches, and +/-0.25% with 3-lb. or greater batches with time spans of 30 to 90 seconds. In continuous mode, the feeder’s electronic controller constantly monitors loss of weight of material per time to maintain a continuous loss of weight with an accuracy of +/-0.25% to 0.50%.

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.
