Choosing Loss-In-Weight Feeder Factors To Consider

1. Volumetric V E R S U S Gravimetric Volumetric Gravimetric P R I N C I P L E O F O P E R A T I O N Volumetric feeders dispense materials based on volume using mechanisms like augers, belts, or rotary valves Gravimetric feeders measure material weight and adjust feed rate using load cells or scales A C C U R A C Y Volumetric feeders may be less accurate due to not directly measuring weight; variations in material density affect precision It provide higher accuracy by directly measuring material weight and compensating for variations in density and flow C O N T R O L S Y S T E M Volumetric feeders use simpler control systems, often without feedback based on material flow It use advanced real- time control based on weight feedback for precise and consistent operation A P P L I C A T I O N S U I T A B I L I T Y Volumetric feeders suit applications where precise material control isn't critical or material properties are stable Gravimetric feeders excel in precise dispensing for materials with variable properties or where accuracy is crucial s o d i m a t e - i n c . c o m
