MechaTron® 3-A Feeder for Food and Dairy Process Applications

16 Aug 2022  |
The MechaTron® 3-A feeder was designed specifically for use in food and dairy industry process applications where equipment must meet 3-A sanitary levels or equivalent.

All welds, radii, seals, surface finishes, gaskets, and contact and non-contact materials meet 3-A standards. 

Available product features include AC and DC drive packages, an FDA / USDA accepted “Coni-Flex™” flexible conical feed-hopper, helix configurations for feed rates from 0.30 to 330 cubic feet (8.5 to 9,300 liters) per hour, and an unmatched ability to disassemble, clean, reconfigure, and service from the non-process side of the feeder.  

A domed hopper cover and open bottom frame speed optimizes draining during and after wash-down cycles.  Smooth, crevice-free product contact surfaces at 32 micro inches or better help prevent the formation of bacteria. 

Additionally, Schenck Process also offers industrial-grade versions of the MechaTron® in low, mid, and high range models with feed rates from 0.002 to 1,137 cubic feet (.58 to 32,160 liters) per hour.
