41 peripherals & automation www.smart-molding.com ProRate PLUS feeder can achieve rates of 3.3 to up to 4800 dm 3 /h. This line of feeders distinguishes itself with simple assembly and easy access for cleaning and servicing purposes. Broad Product Portfolio for Appro- priate Feeding Solutions Along with the ProRate PLUS line, Coperion K-Tron was showing two more representatives from their broad product portfolio. The extremely pre- cise K3-CL-SFS-V100 vibratory loss-in- weight feeder with a one-of-a-kind, patent-pending drive system and an advanced control unit achieves a level of precision that is 35% higher on average than that of conventional models. Vi-bratory feeders are ideal for gentle handling of a variety of ma- terials, including brittle, abrasive ma- terials, products with irregular forms and glass fibers. For the ever-increasing demands of continuous processes in the phar- maceutical industry, Coperi-on K-Tron was showing its K3-PH-ML-D4-QT20 pharma feeder with the P10 vacuum sequencing sanitary receiver. Thanks to the trapezoid scale shape and signifi- cantly smaller footprint, the K3 pharma loss-in-weight feeder line is optimized for multi-feeder clusters around a pro- cess inlet. Furthermore, the modular construction simplifies and acceler- ates cleaning and servicing. The twin screw feeders are available in two sizes, QT20 and QT35. The P-Series vacuum sequencing con-veyors and central re- ceivers are intended for a broad palette of bulk materials and fulfill the strict hygienic requirements of the food and pharmaceutical industries.
