It’s a prerequisite of feeder accuracy to maintain gravimetric uniformity of material at the feed auger. The unique Acromet concentric conditioning mechanism, “COAX Drive” and feed auger, give a superior and dependable material conditioning/feeding combination not available with other designs. Acromet selects the Conditioning Mechanism and rotating speed to suit the application that will provide the optimum conditions with the minimum of material agitation or degradation.

Acromet Models 1200, 1501X, 1500Z and 1700 Feeders are Dual Auger Feeders specifically designed for difficult to handle materials. The main Feed Auger in these units are supplemented by a slowly rotating concentrically mounted Conditioning Auger or Blade, which maintains the supply of material at a constant bulk density to the Feed Auger. The gentle movement of product created by the Secondary Auger or Blade encourages flow from Hopper to Feed Chamber, preventing bridging & rat holing and therefore providing consistent, reliable volumetric feeding.
