Acrison, Inc., an innovative global leader in dry solids metering and handling technologies for over 60 years, offers their Model 408-170-0 “Weight-Loss” Weigh Feeder with a specially configured and highly versatile metering mechanism designed to accurately and reliably meter a wide variety of dry solids materials.
Featuring a compact 18 x 24 inch footprint, the rugged Model 408-170-0 includes an advanced, exceptionally durable dynamic weighing system that is permanently calibrated and adjustment-free. High-resolution weight sensing is accomplished via Acrison’s patented Ratiometric Digital Weight Resolver – which instantaneously produces an unamplified, non-integrated real-time weight signal for precise feed control using one of Acrison’s various multiprocessor controllers.
Designed with a flat bottom feed chamber, the metering mechanism is housed in the chamber and is comprised of a horizontally rotating “conditioning agitator” with a metering auger positioned underneath for highly effective and efficient feeding of materials. The Model 170-0 is also designed to self-empty when permitted to feed until empty and includes an integrated discharge port for rapid feeder emptying. Feed rates range from several pounds upwards to approximately 20 cu. ft./hr., with continuous metering accuracies ranging between +/- 0.25 to 1 percent or better (error) at two sigma, based on a given number of consecutive one-minute sample weighments.
