ActiFlowTM ...a new Material Flow Aid 

"Preventing Bridge-building & Ratholing of Cohesive Materials in Hoppers"

Video shows how feeding cohesive or other difficult materials results in the intermittent or inconsistent flow through the feeder’s hopper, impairing performance and halting the process. Video further demonstrates how the ActiFlow Smart Bulk Solids Activator reliably prevents bridge-building and ratholing of cohesive bulk materials before they occur, eliminating the need for mechanical vertical agitation. ActiFlow is used in loss-in-weight feeding applications.

Smart Weigh Belt Feeder (SWB) 

"Assemby & Disassembly Made Easy"

K-Tron's Smart Weigh Belt is the first weigh belt feeder to offer continuous online auto tare compensation. In the past, sticky products adhering to the belt of the feeder degraded weighing precision and caused the need for frequent cleaning, maintenance, and calibration. This video highlights how the Smart Weigh Belt feeder offers ease of use with auto belt tracking, improved belt tracking, and belt changing. Video demonstrates how belt is removed and then reassembled.

Bulk Solids Pump (BSP) Technology 

Using Positive Displacement Feeding Technology, the Bulk Solids Pump (BSP) does not use screws, augers, belts or vibratory trays to convey material. Free flowing materials are fed via a rotating channel, delivering a true mass flow as the materials are positively displaced from inlet to outlet.

Smart Flow Meter: Gravimetric Metering of
Dry Bulk Materials 

The K-Tron Smart Flow Meter is used in industries that need reliable metering,registering or monitoring bulk of material flows.

In high rate applications, the Smart Flow Meter provides high accuracy feeding, at very high feed rates of up to 200,000 dm³/hr (7,000 ft³/hr).

In addition to a lower purchase cost than a large loss-in-weight feeder, the Smart Flow Meter offers lower maintenace costs and reduced headroom.

Two are models available: K-SFM-275-A and K-SFM-350, dependant on application requirements.
