About Powder Feeding System
Powder Feeding System
For Bro Provides automatic Powder Feeding System for powder filling machines. Automatic feeding system are used to provide continous supply of powder or product to the filling machine. System comprise of three components including Filling machine, Overhead/Ground level storage unit and the screw conveyor system.
Screw conveyor system feeds powder directly in to the filling machine hopper when the powder level of the hopper drops below certain pre-defined levels.
This mechansim avoides constant feeding of powders manually in filling hopper there by reducing the manual efforts.
Salient Features :
- Overhead/Ground level silo arrangement for feeding product to filling system
- Silo Size and capacity as per the customer requirement
- Fully integrated system with blender, sifter, Dozing head & Automatic conveyerised system available
- Capacitive sensors for accurate sensing
