DAIRY PROCESS
Feeding

 

 

 

 

Dairy Plants require precise feeding.

Dairy processors rely on precision feeding equipment for their various recipe formulations.  Each recipe must adhere to strict ingredient formulations.  This is where our feeding equipment can help finely control the amount of material that is added to each batch.

Dairy Process Feeding
Feeding

Feeders are used to accurately meter a certain amount of product into a batch or continuous process at a fixed rate. This can be done volumetrically (each screw rotation displaces a fixed volume of product) or gravimetrically (through loss in weight).

Schenck Process

Volumetric and Gravimetric Sanitary Screw Feeder

The MechaTron® 3-A screw 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 speeds and optimizes draining during and after wash-down cycles. Smooth, crevice-free product contact surfaces at 32 micro inch or better help prevent the formation of bacteria.

MechaTron® 3-A Screw Feeder Features:
  • 3-A accepted feeder for food, dairy and and sanitary feeding applications
  • Crack and crevice-free contact surfaces
  • FDA compliant internal feed hopper
  • Volumetric and gravimetric configurations for feed rates up to 330 ft³ (9,300 l) per hour
