The Wuxi K-Tron Colormax Weigh Belt Feeder (WBF) provides continuous controlled gravimetric feeding of bulk materials. The unit can also be used for gravimetric batch feeding or for continuous metering of bulk material flow.
Weigh belt feeders can be widely applied to various industries such as pellet making, BOPP film, chemical industry, detergent, food and pet food. This gravimetric belt feeder can operate at a wide range of flow rates and is able to feed or meter many different materials with high accuracy. The compact design and the enclosed unit create a clean, safe and low noise working environment.
The conveyor frame is removable on a telescopic support structure from the stainless steel housing. Gasketed side and top covers include full length windows and, when mounted, provide for a dust tight enclosure.
High Precision Weighing Technology
K-Tron Colormax brings high accuracy weighing technology to its value priced weigh belt feeders. The sophisticated load cell provides split-second, high-precision weighing in the milligram range and is specially designed for harsh industrial environments.
High Accuracy Weigh Feeder Control
With advanced micro-processor control technology developed by our international R&D department, the K-Tron Colormax weigh belt delivers precise material flow to industrial processes. The K-Tron Colormax controller has totally eliminated the hysteresis of the PLC control system.
Functionally, the controller supports the Modbus host communication protocol and provides communication with the operation interface. It supports both batch and continuous applications.
Belt speeds are controlled to within ± 1 RPM over a 50:1 range from full motor speed. Several standard ranges of drive reducers are available.
For more information on the controller and operation interface see separate web page and specification sheet.
The following estimated feed rates are for free flowing materials. For feed rates at either end of the range, feeder testing is recommended.
