Feeders' appetites go on a diet to minimize material wastage

摘要

Prime among the avenues considered for modernization is in the area of feeders that provide con-trolledflow of pellets to the throat of the processing machinery.Traditionally,feeders have been volumetric units that were substantially less expensive than more accurate gravimetric feeders,says John G.Fleischer,VP sales/marketing at Universal Dynamics(Una-Dyn,Wood-bridge,VA)."However,many processors are able to be highly successful with volumetric feeders so there is still a place in the market for them," Fleischer says.
