Revamped feeders safer, more efficient

Dec. 7, 2016
Sonner's loss-in-weight feeders can dose, blend and feed powders and granules.

ST/SS feeders With potential hourly throughputs ranging from about 2 ounces to more than 3,300 pounds, Sonner's loss-in-weight feeders can dose, blend and feed powders and granules.

What's new? A number of modifications, mainly arising from customers' suggestions or the unique requirements of facilities in the Western Hemisphere. They include the introduction of heavy-duty connectors on the mounting plate of the feeders, new protective screens and micro-switches that automatically stop the motor when the weighing hopper is opened.

Benefits Greater efficiency, and safer handling. The mounting-plate connectors facilitate wiring between the feeder and other systems, while the additions of the screens and micro-switches add greater protection for operators.
