Application
Gravimetric feeding of very free flowing bulk materials such as granules
and course powders. Especially suited for abrasive products.

Design
Vibratory KV2 feeder with a closed feeder tray (60 x 40 or 120 x 60 mm)
and hopper mounted on a D5 weigh bridge. The weigh bridge is stainless
steel and the scale housing is completely enclosed.
All parts in contact with the material being fed are stainless steel. The
equipment is practically maintenance-free because there are no mecha-
nical parts to wear. The rear cover of the tray can easily be removed for
cleaning.
This equipment conforms to CE standards regarding EMC and safety.

Controller: (see separate data sheets)

The SmartConnex® control system allows individual or multi-component
control. Each feeder has its own control module. Connection between feed-
ers, operator interface and smart I/O is via an industrial network. A variety
of protocols is available for connection to the plant’s host system.
Hazardous Location Options: (see sheet I-000002)
NEC Class II, Div. 2, Group F & G
ATEX 3D/3D, 3D/2D (outside/inside)

Vibratory Drive
The K-Tron vibratory drive is part of the control system and has been
developed especially for use with feeders. A main design feature of the
drive is the large weight difference between the stationary and moving
components. The leaf spring being tension free when not in operation can
be easily replaced. The electronic control system provides a quick response
to changing feed and environmental conditions. The control feedback signal
is produced by means of a permanent magnet and spool.

Feed Rates
Attention: The following rates are theoretical values for free flowing materials being fed volumetrically.
Actual feed rates depend on individual material characteristics.

Configuration without flap with flap with flap

(fully open) (min. open)

60 x 40 mm dm3/h 9 - 900 3.5 - 350 2 - 200

Tray (2.4 x 1.6 in) (ft3/h) (0.32 - 31.77) (0.12 - 12.36) (0.07 - 7.06)
