No two process applications are the same, and sometimes even the same materials from different suppliers can behave differently in screw feeders. In all cases, especially continuous feeding or loss-in-weight batching, achieving the highest accuracy is critical.
We asked Sharon Nowak, Global Business Development Manager for Food and Pharma, to explain how high accuracy feeding is achieved by choosing the proper components, screw configurations, and proper hopper to ensure that the material gets to the screw constantly and consistently, all of which are major requirements for screw feeder accuracy.
