loss-in-weight feeder [′lȯs in ′wāt ‚fēd·ər]

(mechanical engineering)

A device to apportion the output of granulated or powdered solids at a constant rate from a feed hopper; weight-measured decrease in hopper content actuates further opening of the discharge chute to compensate for flow loss as the hopper overburden decreases; used in the chemical, fertilizer, and plastics industries.

No references found			Thanks to the variable screw speed of the MCTD extruder, mixing parameters can be easily optimized for each compound, with chemical dosing provided by a gravimetric loss-in-weight feeder (figures 1 and 4). Final mixing and straining during the extrusion process by Skibba, Olaf; Grepp, Dave / Rubber World Discharger valve can be used on new and existing silos, discharging and controlling the flow of solids from storage, or as a prefeeder for accurate gain-in-weight and loss-in-weight feeder systems and for automatic filling or packing lines. Metering, feeding and blending by Plastics Technology The Smart Weigh Belt's improved performance and easier maintenance make it possible for processors to use weigh belt feeders in applications where loss-in-weight feeders had been their only option.
