Coperion K-Tron Feeder for High Containment Applications

The feeder design combines a new modular concept complete with a drastically reduced overall footprint and modifications to include integration of split butterfly valves at both the inlet and discharge. In addition, specialty filtration is included for venting as well as a modified feeder bowl to hopper flange connection for high containment levels. Additional features such as retractable spray balls can be added to ensure complete wash-in-place cleaning. The combination of Coperion K-Tron’s high accuracy D4 scale with its fast-reacting KCM-III control module ensure the highest accuracy when feeding even the most difficult to handle pharmaceutical ingredients.
