NEW Pharmaceutical KT20 Design with Specially Expanded Hopper Design

The KT20 Pharmaceutical feeder is now available with a new hopper design that includes a larger open area in the material in-feed section of the feeder, allowing for better screw fill resulting in improved feeder accuracy. The larger open area at the base of the hopper is ideal for cohesive materials where build up may occur in more conventional hopper designs. The design is available for both the T20 and T35 pharmaceutical feeder sizes.

 

ActiFlow™ Smart Bulk Solids Activator:
A New Material Flow Aid

The ActiFlow Smart Bulk Solids Activator reliably prevents bridging and rat-holing of cohesive bulk materials in stainless steel hoppers. ActiFlow is a non-product contact device, consisting of a patent-pending vibratory drive and intelligent control unit. In applications involving difficult flowing materials, ActiFlow eliminates the need for mechanical agitators with secondary motors and gearboxes, as well as the need for flexible side wall agitation devices or aeration pads. The patent-pending self-tuning algorithm implemented in the
K-Tron Control Module (KCM) monitors the system continuously adjusting the frequency and amplitude of the ActiFlow to maintain flow within the hopper. In this manner, bridges and rat-holes are prevented before they can form. Working in concert with K-Tron’s patented Smart Force Transducer (SFT) weigh scales, advanced filtering algorithms are used to screen out vibrations, ensuring an accurate weight signal even with the ActiFlow running.

MT12 Microfeeder: Accurate Low Rate Micro-ingredient Feeding

Stop by booth 3036 and preview the MT12 Microfeeder designed for applications requiring accurate feeding of free flowing to difficult to handle powders a low rates. Both Loss-in-Weight (model K-CL-SFS-MT12) and volumetric K-CV-MT12) feeder models are available for continuous or batch operation, with Loss-in-Weight model on display. This compact feeder is designed for ease of disassembly, allowing fast and easy cleaning, with options available for automatic refill.

Typical applications include feeding into jet mills, tablet presses, continuous extrusion processes and any application where expensive micro-ingredients require accurate feeding.

KT20 Twin Screw Pharmaceutical Feeder: New and Improved Ingredient Feeding 

K-Tron has implemented a number of design enhancements to the KT20 Pharmaceutical feeder including:

  • Improved screw shaft seal design with O Ring
  • Standard seal purge assuring no migration of product to bearing area
  • Improved drainage design for CIP
  • Provide positive purge for inerting
  • Angled machine face on agitator mating surface to bowl for drainage
  • New scale design featuring pre-wired motor cables and air purge lines that eliminate any negative weight effects
  • Internal air routing for purging feeder seals
  • Intrinsic safe option for European ATEX 2GD and U.S. Class I Div 1 hazardous area applications.

K-Tron has also engineered specialty designs for glove box integration - with the feeder mounted both inside and outside of glove box walls.

K-Tron Premier P-Series Receivers: Sanitary Pneumatic Conveying from Powders to Capsules

The K-Tron Premier P-Series provides a sanitary, custom solution for difficult conveying applications. The sanitary design features include steep cone angles to ensure excellent discharge and band clamps for quick disassembly.  The material conveying principle includes pneumatic, vacuum, dilute phase, and dense phase conveying. Conveying rates vary depending on model, product characteristics and conveying distances.

Typical materials include tablets, capsules, flakes, and free-flowing to poorly flowing powders, specifically materials that need gentle conveying. Models available include an operational P10, and a static P30 unit, in mirror finish.
