Coperion K-Tron recently announced the expansion of its original ProRate feeder portfolio with a new and cost-effective feeder line called ProRate PLUS.
The ProRate PLUS continuous gravimetric feeder line was designed with the specific requirements of the plastics processing industry in mind. The single screw feeders are ideal for the feeding of pellets, granules and other free-flowing bulk materials in secondary plastics applications. ProRate PLUS feeders are available in three sizes and can be installed as individual units or arranged in cluster of up to six feeders around a process inlet, depending on the recipe formulation.
The ProRate PLUS feeder line features a unique design, which allows for compact, space-saving arrangement. The trapezoidal shape of the feeders allows up to six feeders to be grouped around an extruder inlet within a 1.5 meter – or five feet – radius.
The three feeder models, PLUS-S, PLUS-M and PLUS-L, cover a wide range of throughputs. The ProRate PLUS feeders are capable of handling feed rates from 3.3 up to 4800 dm3/h, depending on the material.
