Screw Feeders

        Individually design to best serve your particular applications.  This is accomplished through engineers who rely on over 50 years of extensive experience in many types of heavy industry applications.  These engineers also use the latest innovative techniques for developing proper feed systems that will give precise feed rates, long life and minimal maintenance.

        Our experience and expertise allow us to successfully design and build many types of feeders for a wide variety of products.  From explosion containing tubular feeders for coal dust, to live bottom surge bins for corn processing, to multiple cone feeders for wood chips.

        Some examples of these feeders include:

                   Cone Feeders:  The use of a cone at the beginning of the inlet creates a varying flow across the inlet.  Combine the cone with a variable pitch flighting to obtain a very precise draw down.  Ideal for applications where there is a long, narrow inlet, and mass flow.

                   Live Bottom Feeders:  Uses multiple screws for continuous feed.  Can be combined with tapered or variable pitch flights to give even discharge of the material.  Used for applications where a large feed area is required by design or where the material has the characteristic of severe bridging.

Live Bottom Feeder, 12" dia. x 11'-0" long

                   Twin Screw Feeders:  Can be combined with cones, variable pitch or variable diameter.  Used in applications where bridging is not a problem and the material can be hoppered down, yet the flow requires more than a single feeder.
