FEEDING - WEIGHING LOSS IN WEIGHT FEEDER DPP 1000 DEFINITION AND PRINCIPLE The Loss-in-Weigh Feeder extracts the product from a hopper and according to the fixed flow rate « set point » adjusts the discharged weight by varying the feeder speed to keep the loss in weight flow constant. The weight of the material in the hopper is measured by three highly accurate strain gauge load cells associated to a digital signal processing unit (UTN). The decrease in the total weight of the « weight loss » per unit of time is compared to the « set point value » (continuous feeder). The Loss in Weight feeder can also be used as a batch-type feeder. The feeder can be made of carbon steel or stainless steel. CONSTRUCTION AND CHARACTERISTICS The loss-in-weight feeder consists of four main parts : A storage hopper adapted to the material characteristics and required flow-rate. An extraction and feeding device (screw or vibrating tray) Three highly accurate strain gauge load cells and a digital signal processing unit An electrical and control command cubicle Storage hopper whose capacity and characteristics are adapted to the handled material, required flow-rate, operating range and accuracy 1 Sealing at the shaft passage by packing gland with braided ceramic sleeving on the command side and bossing with lip seal joint on the end 9 plate side. Digital signal processing unit (UTN) if the analogue load cells are used. Highly accurate weighing system included 3 three strain gauge load cells and one digital signal processing unit (UTN). Two flexible sleeves (inlet & outlet) 8 for machine isolation. The homogenisation mixer ensures a continuous flow of material into the discharger and maintains a constant 7 bulk density Pressurization of the packing gland cases 4 with compressed air or with nitrogen in ATEX atmosphere. Material extractor-feeder which can be a single or twin screw, vibrating tray or belt conveyor. 5 Direct coupling with easy dismounting to allow frequent cleaning of screw. Drive unit including the AC gearmotor Protection IP 55 or IP 65 6 Electrical supply : 380/400/460/660V 50Hz / 60Hz ADVANTAGES Simple structure and easily adaptable to all types of material. Modular conception for quick and easy disassembling and cleaning Completely enclosed dust free machine High weighing and feeding accuracy: up to +/- 0,2 %.
