PCF centre feeder

PCF feeder

The agitator ensures that the product maintains a consistent bulk density and that the dosing screw is evenly filled, enabling highly accurate volumetric dosing — even for poorly flowing products.

In addition, this design creates a larger opening to the hopper, significantly reducing the risk of bridging. Because the agitator rotates around the screw, there is no risk of bridging between the agitator and the dosing screw — a phenomenon often seen in conventional dosing units.

The dosing screw and agitator are driven by a single motor with a special gearbox. The agitator rotates very slowly to prevent product damage, but always in a fixed ratio to the dosing screw.
