Whether you are feeding by volume or feeding by weight, in batch or continuous processes, no one gives you more smart feeding solutions then K-Tron. K-Tron feeders provide high-accuracy feeding solutions to handle a wide range of ingredients, from chocolate chips to floodable powders and waxy liquids. Product line includes volumetric feeders, loss-in-weight feeders, weigh belt feeders and mass flowmeters.
Smart Weigh Belt Feeders (SWB)
K-Tron's stainless steel Smart Weigh Belt (SWB) feeder serves many food applications and is the first weigh belt feeder to offer the continuous online auto tare function, enabled by a second weigh bridge. Weigh belt feeders offer gravimetric feeding at higher feed rates in areas where low headroom is a problem.
The Smart Weigh Belt (SWB) feeder is available in open and closed frame versions and in 300 mm and 600 mm belt widths, enabling feed rates up to 40,000 kg/hour (88,000 lb/hour). K-Tron has earned industry recognition for its proprietary digital weighing technology. Using the K-Tron Smart Force Transducer (SFT) weighing technology in combination with the K-Tron Smart Connex™ feeder control platform, K-Tron Soder feeders have demonstrated excellent performance, accuracy and return on investment in demanding food industry applications.
