A versatile concept for the accurate feeding of liquids and pastes
Coperion K-Tron’s liquid loss-in-weight feeders provide accurate continuous volumetric or gravimetric flow control of liquids. The highly accurate gravimetric units combine the pump and tank with a suspension scale or platform scale; the feed pump for metering the material is located outside the scale area.
When feeding liquids, the special requirements of each application vary. A wide range of pumps and tanks can be combined to constitute a Liquid Feeder and satisfy the specific demands. The feed pump is selected according to the material and the required feeding capacity.
- Versatile, modular liquid feeding concept through combination of a wide range of different pumps and tanks
- Highly accurate feeding of liquids and pastes, especially with gravimetric units
- Three scale sizes & types available, in relation to tank size
- Outstanding 2 Sigma accuracy
- Reliable feeding of temperature-sensitive material
- Direct cost savings compared to other systems on the market
Owing to the wide range of available pumps and tanks, Liquid Feeders can cover a broad span of applications. They are suitable for different industries and many thousands of installed units prove their reliability in daily use feeding pastes or liquids to the production process. Acids, plasticizers, molasses or flavors are typical bulk materials fed by this type of feeder. Other applications are, for example, feeding meat slurry to the extruder in food or pet food processing or adding liquid additives in a polyethylene production line.
