GRAVIMETRIC BELT FEEDER
An innovative, cost effective gravimetric feeder designed to accurately meter dry chemicals in granular or powder form.

The Chemco Gravimetric Belt Feeder accurately and reliably delivers powder or granules from the storage silo to your process, no matter what the load in the silo. Using a single strain-gauge type load cell and a speed sensor, it simultaneously weighs the material on the belt and monitors belt speed. It then instantly compares the results to the desired feed rate and corrects belt speed. In this way, the feed rate is maintained within +/- 0.5%.

Operators enter feed rate using Chemco's user-friendly touch screen. All controls are easily accessible: hand and automatic selectors, alarms and calibration buttons. It even monitors belt slippage.

If repairs are necessary, many parts are commonly available, or Chemco can supply every part or subcomponent on short notice.

Features




The structure supporting the belt is made of two sections (above). Section "A" is fixed and supports the material above the inlet chute. Section "C" is cantilevered by a single point pivot, "B". The cantilevered section is weighed at "D" by a single load cell, as material is conveyed over it, and the "empty" weight is subtracted to determine the weight of material on Section "C". Belt speed and weight are combined to provide feed rate.
