Schenck Process - Weighing, Feeding and Measuring Systems for Pharmaceutical Processes

Serving the pharmaceutical industry for over 30 years, Schenck Process‘ weighing, feeding and measuring systems have been the products of choice for pharmaceutical processes worldwide. Whether it is tablet coating, multiingredient batching, intermediate bulk packaging or jet milling, Schenck Process has the right bulk metering solution.

PHARMACEUTICAL AND NUTRACEUTICAL BULK SOLIDS METERING

We know that pharmaceutical and nutraceutical processes involve a wide range of materials, material characteristics and feed rates. Additionally, active ingredients, fillers, coatings etc. vary widely in bulk density, particle size and flowability. Therefore, Schenck Process offers an extensive range of weighing and feeding technology especially designed to operate to the most exacting of application conditions.

PUREFEED® A: POWERFUL AUGER FEEDER IN HYGIENIC DESIGN

The feed system is suitable for gravimetric or volumetric feeding of powders and granulates and is ideal for high feed rates: 500g/hr to 150kg/hr. The auger feeder satisfies the stringent requirements of hygienic design.

Given the external non-intrusive agitation of its flexible hopper, the PureFeed A discharges the product gently, ensuring optimum bulk material flow. The penetration depth and frequency of the external agitation can be conveniently set to product specific requirements. The auger feeder is available in various geometries which can be easily adjusted to the application and also handle challenging feeding tasks. Pulsation can be reduced at low delivery rates thanks to the innovative “Wire Helix” auger geometry. Feed hopper of various sizes are available and even auger extensions are possible.

PUREFEED® D FOR FEEDING AT VERY LOW FEED RATES

PureFeed D is particularly well suited to continuous, gravimetric feeding of tiny volumes of powder with manual refills. The innovative technology deployed in the PureFeed D allows for high-accuracy feeding of small volumes from between 20g/hr to 2kg/hr using a speed-controlled, ceramic feed disc which rotates at the base of a cylindrical hopper and acts as the discharge mechanism.

This disc separates the material supply from the outlet opening, avoids uncontrolled outflow and prevents the bulk material which is already contained within the feeder from compacting. The pulsation-free feed principle and the wide adjustment range allow for precise, gravimetric feeding, especially of tiny volumes, without the discharge mechanism having to be replaced.

ACCURATE® VOLUMETRIC FEEDERS

AccuRate volumetric feeders are compact, flexible and easy to integrate. Already proven more than 30,000 times over as a cost-effective solution.
