The compact feeder is designed for ease of disassembly, allowing fast and easy cleaning. The feeder design also allows the feeder bowl to discharge almost completely when emptying, leaving minimal amounts of residual material. The T12 can be configured for either standard industrial or sanitary pharmaceutical applications. Models meeting European ATEX and USA Hazardous Area standards are planned.
Typical applications for the micro feeder include feeding jet mills, tablet presses, continuous extrusion processes and any application where expensive micro ingredients require accurate feeding
