Screw Feeder With Big Hopper

A screw feeder, in simplest terms, consists of a tube with a feed screw down the center. As raw materials are fed into the tube, the feed screw turns and moves the material along to a discharge unit located at the end of the tube.Screw feeders can be used to control the amount of discharging of bulk solids. By controlling the shaft speed of screw feeder, volumetric measurement is possible for both powdered and granule type bulk materials. Gravimetric feeding of mixers or containers are done by measuring the weight of handled product.
