Feeders

Coperion K-Tron’s unique vibrating wire weighing technology is based on the theory that the resonance frequency of an oscillating wire depends on the wire tension produced when a load is applied. Force, when derived from an applied weight, is transferred mechanically to the wire. The resonant frequency is measured to determine the weight. In Coperion K-Tron’s advanced Smart Force Transducer (SFT), the signal is directly converted into a digital weight signal by a built-in microprocessor. The signal is then communicated noise-free via RS 485 to the controller. Every SFT provides a true 4,000,000:1 weight resolution in 80 ms and comes with a 5 year warranty.

No matter how simple or complex your feeder application may be, Coperion K-Tron has a control solution designed and priced to meet your needs.
Coperion K-Tron’s SmartConnex^TM concept represents a new control environment that tightly integrates the core technologies of a feeder system. This greatly reduces the cost of installation and daily operation, makes the system easier to use and maintain, and provides an optimum level of performance. In multi-feeder applications, SmartConnex can be used to form a network of feeders using simple field wiring techniques with superior performance.

No two process applications are the same, and Coperion K-Tron offers the widest range of material handling solutions in the industry. All volumetric feeders, loss-in-weight feeders, weigh belts, flow meters and conveying systems are offered in a variety of configurations, which can be combined to create an optimal solution for any application.
