the ProRate Plus feeders allows up to six feeders to be grouped around an extruder inlet within a 1.5m radius. The three feeder models – Plus-S, Plus-M and Plus-L – cover a wide range of throughputs. They are capable of handling feed rates from 3.3 up to 4800 dm3
/h depending on the material. Theoretically, a feeding system with six ProRate Plus-L feeders can feed up to 28.8 m3
/h on a footprint of 7m2 . All feeders include P-SFT load cells, featuring
reliable Smart Force Transducer weighing technol- ogy. They work under compression and provide
accurate, reliable digital weight measurement under a range of operating conditions. The load cells supply a direct digital weighing signal. The onboard microcontroller ensures good repeatabil- ity and stability. P-SFT load cells have a high tolerance to vibration and electrical noise and feature built-in overload and underload protection. In addition, its Smart Weigh Belt (SWB) feeder is used for continuous controlled gravimetric feeding of free-flowing or friable bulk materials. The SWB can be used for gravimetric batch feeding or continuous metering of bulk material flow. It features a primary weigh bridge and offers an optional secondary weigh bridge that provides continuous online auto tare, which reduces mainte- nance and frequency of calibration, and improves long-term stability. The SWB is available in 300, 600, 650, 800 and 1000mm belt widths. SWB-300 and SWB-600 are supplied as open or closed frame.
