Weigh-belt feeders

April 1, 2011




For use where precision weighing and metering of dry materials is required, Schenck AccuRate’s DEA stainless steel weigh-belt feeders provide weight-controlled feeding, weight indication and totalization for fragile (friable) materials like cereals, snack foods, kibble and fruits. The weigh-belt feeders are available in 12- and 24-in. belt widths with easy belt de-tensioning and removal, belt-weight influence compensation, accuracies of +/-0.25 to 1 percent of set-rate sigma, and feed-rate capabilities up to 1,680 cu. ft. per hour. For sanitary environments, open frame models with washdown capabilities are available.
