Instead of upsizing a lab-scale machine, equipment engineers sometimes must contend with downsizing issues.
Positive displacement kinetics is applied in the BSP to improve precision and reduce damage when conveying materials. Vertical rotating disks create lock-up zones to achieve linear mass flow from a hopper inlet to a discharge outlet. A defined transport channel is created without any pulse movement, resulting in greater accuracy than screw conveying can deliver.
K-Tron claims to achieve volumetric accuracy to within 0.1 percent, compared to 2 percent for screw feeders.
