Volumetric Feeding
Which feeder for which application
The principle of feeding volumetrically starts with keeping the screw full. The effectiveness and accuracy are strongly dependent on a constant and homogeneous filling of the dosing screw.
This method provides consistent, repeatable metering with linear control with materials that are considered “good” powders. A good powder has a consistent bulk density, and manageable characteristics.
Volumetric feeding falls short of capacity requirements when a material has a varying bulk density. Material that can vary widely in bulk density within a batch will struggle to meet dosing requirements with a Volumetric feeder.
Choosing the right feeder for your application is important to the cost and quality of the output of your facility. The basics are outlined here, speaking with a bulk material handling expert form our company to design the optimal system for your application is important to achieving quantifiable savings in the long-run.

Special T-Nozzle door for quick disconnect
Special T-Nozzle door for quick disconnect
Possible applications
- The dosing of for instance lime for exhaust gas cleaning
- Adding colouring substances or other additives in the plastic industry
- Adding flavouring, odour and colouring substances in the food industry
- The dosing of powders in bottles, mixers of blenders in the pharma-industry The dosing of clay, paint and/or glaze in the ceramic industry
Properties
The HETHON Feeders 40 up to and including 70 are available with 1 of 2 motors. The optional second propulsion makes it possible to have the paddles and screw moving independently. This way the paddles keep the material in motion whilst the screw only rotates slowly.
