K-TRON PREMIER Product Information Batch Weigh Vacuum Receiver

Batch Weigh Receiver

Multi Material Conveyor/Weigher

The Conveyor/Weigher package combines a vacuum receiver with a reliable weighing system. The resulting combination allows multiple ingredients to be conveyed and weighed so that accurate batching of ingredients can take place on either a cumulative or sequential basis: a) As a Multi Material Batch Weigher the unit accumulates an exact amount by weight of several ingredients (generally max. eight) to form a batch prior to loading a mixer. b) As a Totalizing Weigher the unit continuously monitors the throughput of a single material in a process or accurately fills a bulk container. 8
