Gravimetric Feeders
Brabender offers gravimetric feeder systems comprised of high-tech loss-in-weight feeders and weigh-belt feeders. A comprehensive product line of loss-in-weight scales with different feed devices such as single or twin screw feeders, vibrating tray feeders, vibratory mass flow feeders and others offers solutions for the complete range of bulk ingredients from powders to coarse-grained ingredients and from fibers to flakes. All loss-in-weight feeders are characterized by a reliable bulk ingredient flow and high metering accuracy thanks to sophisticated agitation systems such as paddle-massaged flexible hoppers and stirring agitators. Finally, Brabender offers robust weigh-belt feeders, which provide high feed rates with a small footprint.

Volumetric Feeders
Brabender's volumetric feeders are used when the metering requirements are less demanding. For these cases, all loss-in-weight feeders with screw feeders are available as volumetric feeders without weighing systems and microcomputer controllers. Volumetric feeders are controlled by special frequency converters providing for constant speed and a high volumetric metering constancy.

Weigh Belt Processing
For automatic and accurate single and multiple ingredient weigh-batching Brabender Technologies offers a variety of solutions including loss-in-weight feeders, gain-in-weight systems and weigh-belt feeders. Thanks to their intelligent controls, our systems offer optimum performance also in discontinuous weigh-batching processes.

Batch Processing Controls
A fully automatic metering system does not only comprise high-accuracy weighing technology but also intelligent controls with sophisticated software solutions and flexible interfaces. These do not only control the feeding process with its complicated interaction of weighing, metering and regulation functions but also link the metering feeders with other system components such as refill devices and shut-off valves. Above all, however, controls provide a continuous documentation of the feeding process – a must in modern production lines.
