Gravimetric Feeder Accurately Meters Powder At Rates As Low as 20 grams/hr

By Pharmaceutical Processing | March 5, 2009


The PureFeed® DP-4 is a highly innovative gravimetric feeder that can accurately meter dry pharmaceutical and nutraceutical powders at feed rates as low as 20 grams/hour. A speed controlled, inert ceramic feed disc (patent pending) is at the heart of the DP-4 feeder. The disc rotates to precisely discharge tiny amounts of material, continuously and pulsation free over the entire 20 to 2,000 gram feed rate range. Also, since the feed disc separates the material supply from the discharge point, there is no compaction and no chance of flooding. Low maintenance and ease of disassembly, cleaning and containment were major design priorities for the PureFeed® DP-4 Disc Feeder. All connecting pieces are secured using sanitary quick release clamps and the inlet and discharge of the DP-4 feeder can be sealed to insure containment during transportation. The feeder is ideally suited for jet milling, continuous blending, medical-grade plastics compounding, packaging, coating, and ingredient weighing applications.
