Combined feeder/ vacuum receiver unit is a combination of feeding and conveying technology, based on the company’s K2 modular feeders and P-series vacuum receivers. Originally designed for gain-in-weight applications with restricted headroom requirements, this unit has also been used successfully for direct loss-in-weight feeder refill, where sticky or fluidizing powder could cause problems with vacuum refill valves. The hemispherical feeder bowl and a pneumatic discharge valve replace the discharge valve at the receiver outlet. The Hurricane P-series standard receiver design fits easily onto the diameter of the feeder body. Feeder and receiver units can be combined freely to achieve an optimal configuration for each application. hanks to the modularity of both the feeding and conveying models, a variety of combinations can be chosen between feeder and receiver model, in terms of screw type, receiving volume, and filter area to serve the process.
