Gericke’s tare-compensated hybrid loss-in-weight feeders are well known for their combination of high accuracy feeding and robustness. The DIW-E-Star weighing system in conjunction with GAC feeders now covers the mid-range of feed rates in the gravimetric hybrid feeder portfolio, typically from 10 up to 2000 kg/h (depending on bulk density). The DIW-E-Star is available with hopper sizes ranging from 50 to 200 l net volume. Due to the modular approach, all hopper sizes fit into one weighing frame. All hoppers are equipped with vertical agitators to ensure mass flow even for cohesive powders. The weighing frame itself has been designed to combine highest mechanical stability with a lightweight construction.
Due to the tare-compensation mechanism the load cell only measures the actual product weight, and vibrations are filtered out mechanically before even reaching the load cell.
