The K-PH-ML-D5-KV2 vibratory loss-in-weight feeder is designed for the low-flowrate addition of difficult-flowing active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), particularly cohesive materials that build up when fed via standard twin-screw configurations. This feeder is well-suited for continuous pharmaceutical operations, such as extrusion, granulation, mixing, and coating. It has an easy-to-clean design, with a removable tray and end covers that provide accessibility. The 3-L inlet funnel transition hopper has a 65-deg. slope for optimal material flowability into the vibratory tray. The unit has a 20-L extension hopper with an optional lid, along with inlet Tri-Clamp and sanitary flexible bellows for complete isolation of the feeder. An optional lid with a sanitary vent filter affixed by a Tri-Clamp is also available. All Tri-Clamps are constructed of FDA-approved plastic to minimize the overall weight of the feeder. The discharge tray terminates to a Tri-Clover ferrule, with sanitary silicone bellows for connection to the process below. The vibratory feeding principle, coupled with the company’s patented load cells and controller, ensure high-accuracy feeding.
