The accurate feeding of a dry bulk material is often critical to maintaining product quality. A feeder that weighs accurately and reliably can reduce material waste, improve blend consistency, and increase profits. Thermo's volumetric systems accurately control the flow of powders, pellets, flakes or granules to critical processes.

Volumetric feeders are utilized in bulk material feeding applications when the feed rate and total weight measurements are not necessary and accuracy requirements of +/- 1-2% are permissible.  Volumetric adjustments are accomplished through the use of an open loop variable speed control, which can operated either locally or remote.  

Thermo's standard modular volumetric feeder is available in six sizes and provides accurate feeding up to 600 ft?/hr.  The units design affords the ability of handling a broad range of bulk solid materials with various characteristics and may be equipped with an integral, free-flowing hopper, or an optional dust containment trough cover for use directly beneath a bulk material storage bin.
