Scott Equipment Cake Feeder: Engineered for the Toughest Feeding Challenges

Cake Feeder
29 Aug 2025  |
When it comes to handling sticky, dense, or otherwise uncooperative materials, traditional feeding equipment often falls short. The Scott Equipment Cake Feeder was purpose-built to tackle these challenges head-on, delivering consistent, reliable feeding of filter cake, dewatered sludge, and other difficult-to-handle materials into downstream processes.

At the core of the design is a vertical, cylindrical hopper equipped with a robust vertical agitator featuring precision-engineered forcing elements. These blades work continuously to push material toward the discharge point, preventing bridging, rat-holing, and flow interruptions. The Cake Feeder can discharge directly to a screw conveyor for mechanical transfer or to a pump mounted at the base for slurry handling—offering unmatched versatility in process integration.

Constructed to meet the demands of virtually any application, the Cake Feeder is available in carbon steel, 304 stainless steel, or 316/316L stainless steel, with optional sanitary finishes to comply with USDA, FDA, and 3-A (2A) standards. Each unit is custom-fabricated to match specific capacity requirements and plant layouts, ensuring optimal performance in continuous operations.

The Cake Feeder is designed for volumetric feeding as standard, but can be equipped with load cells for precise gravimetric control, enabling accurate material measurement and tighter process control. This adaptability makes it a preferred solution in wastewater treatment, food processing, chemical, and minerals industries.

Proudly made in the USA, the Scott Equipment Cake Feeder combines rugged engineering with process flexibility, ensuring long service life, reduced downtime, and consistent throughput—no matter how challenging the material. When process reliability and material flow are non-negotiable, the Cake Feeder delivers.
