SOLIDSFLOW USDA Model 2000 Vibratory Feeders from Schenck AccuRate

SCHENCK AccuRate’s SolidsFlow® USDA Accepted Model 2000 Feeder was designed specifically for use in the food, dairy, and pharmaceutical industries where equipment and processes must meet stringent sanitary levels. Using the SolidsFlow® Model 2000 feeder as the basis for the offering; welds, radii, seals, surface finishes, gaskets and all contact and non-contact materials were reviewed and specified as directed by USDA inspectors.

The SolidsFlow® USDA Accepted Model 2000 Feeder is a mass flow feeder based on louvered vibratory feeding technology. The feeder utilizes a vibrating drive and tray frame, which contains a removable feed tray. The feed tray is fitted with a number of flat blades of varying lengths set at an angle and a predetermined distance apart. This effectively divides the discharge area into a series of material feed slots.

Each blade acts as a vibratory feeder with a gap and overlap across the entire width of the discharge opening. All blade dimensions and angles are fixed to suit the particular characteristics of the material(s) being fed. Therefore when the vibrations cease, material flow stops under the action of the angle of repose of the product.

Users of the SolidsFlow® USDA Accepted Model 2000 Feeder will find that it is a low maintenance, easy to clean feeder that handles a wide variety of materials whose flow characteristics may differ. With no moving parts, the Model 2000 requires little maintenance. The feeder is also offered in volumetric and gravimetric models with feed rates up to 341 cubic feet (9,657 liters) per hour.
