The Forward single screw Loss-in-Weight Feeder is designed to provide highaccuracy, high value gravimetric feeding for a variety of materials including pellets, granules, free-flowing powders and other bulk materials. Feed rates are possible from 5-1800 L/hr. , depending on feeder configuration and material characteristics. Single screw feeders are available with a wide range of interchangeable feed screws depending on the material being fed. The feeder is mounted on the Forward scale, which uses a high-speed and highly accurate strain gauge load cel l. The scale material is stainless steel and the scale housing is completely enclosed. AII material contact parts are stainless steel. The feeder is easily disassembled for cleaning or changeover. Optimum feed screws are selected based on material characteristics of the bulk solid to be fed. Following are estimated feed rates for free-flowing materials. For feed rates at either end of the range, feeder testing is recommended.
