FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How precise is the feed rate control?

Accuracy depends on factors like material consistency and drive settings, but most setups can achieve highly repeatable feed rates. For more critical processes, load cells or PLC integration can improve accuracy further.

How do I maintain optimal performance?

Yes. The design accommodates a broad spectrum of particle sizes and densities, provided you choose the right hopper size, conveyor type, and optional liners or coatings.

What is the typical maintenance schedule?

A monthly check of the conveyor belt or screws, drive components, and hopper seals is sufficient for most operations. More frequent inspections may be necessary if you’re handling especially abrasive materials.

Can the feeder handle surge loads or high-volume spikes?

Its metering design is meant for controlled flow. While it can accommodate short spikes, consistent feeding performs best with stable inbound flow. Integrating a surge hopper or buffer can help absorb large variations.
