MechaTron - Model Min - Loss-in-weight Feeder
From IBS Light Products
High-quality gravimetric feeder for very small volumes. The finer and smaller the flow volumes, the greater the quality requirements placed on the feeder. The requirements here include reliability, a high degree of accuracy and flexibility. Schenck Process provides a solution: the large MechaTron in miniature form.

This gravimetric feeder has a delivery rate of between 100 g and 10 kg per hour. Typical applications include laboratory and test facilities for feeding extruders, mixers, mills and granulators.
Perfect equipment. Can be adapted to meet performance requirements
The MechaTron® Min features a double shaft and vertical agitator. Thanks to the clever modular design, it’s quick and easy to clean and to change the discharge devices.
Two different feed hoppers are available to suit different products and delivery rates. The 4 l conical hopper with negative taper and base agitator is suited to smaller outputs and manual filling. The 8 l hopper is conical and also has an agitator that works near the walls and a cover with filler and ventilation necks for larger outputs and automatic refilling.
Both versions come with integrated measurement, control and regulation electronics of a high quality.
Well protected from dust and interference
A housing protects the drive and weighing technology from dust. For small outputs, we recommend fitting an additional protective housing over the entire device to minimise environmental disturbances.
Technical details: Theoretical delivery rate of double concave screw 14 mm x 6.35 mm, or double concave screw 14 mm x 12.7 mm. Suitable for a grain size of 500 µm or less. The ambient temperature and bulk material temperature is -20 °C … +40 °C. The recommended bulk material density is between 0.3 and 1.1 kg/dm. The electrical housing is made from aluminium and has a protection class of IP65.
Features:
- Gravimetric feeder for very small volumes with double shaft and vertical agitator
- Easy to dismantle for cleaning and replacement of discharge devices
- 4 I conical hopper with negative taper and base agitator for manual filling
- 8 I conical hopper with base / wall agitator and cover with filler neck
- Optional protective housing to minimise environmental disturbances
- Integrated measurement, control and regulation electronics
Application
- The MechaTron Min loss-in-weight feeder is used for the continuous feeding or batching of very small volumes of powder.
- It is ideal for applications where it is either required or desired to discharge the material by a double-shaft discharge device and internal agitator.
- Typical applications include laboratory and test facilities for feeding extruders, mixers, mills and granulators.
- The system is designed to allow easy dismantling for cleaning and replacement of the discharge devices.
Equipment
- The drive and weighing technology is contained in a dust-protected housing.
- The one-piece discharge base ol high-quality plastic has no apertures and is easy to clean.
- The easy-to-remove vertical agitator operates near the base and ensures that the discharge devices are evenly filled.
- Different discharge devices are available to suit different products and delivery rates.
- The conical 41 hopper with negative taper is filled manually. It has its own base agitator and is used for small outputs.
- With a cover, filler neck and agitator that works close to the walls, the conical 8 I hopper is suitable for larger outputs.
- For small outputs we recommend using the protective housing to minimise external disruptive forces.
- The housing is supported by a platform which secures the scale electronics.
Function
- The loss-in-weight feeder uses the principle of controlled weight reduction. The control system compares the desired and actual output and adjusts the drive motor accordingly.
- To achieve high feeding performance, the feeder is designed to offer high load cell resolution and minimal shunt forces and disruptive forces. The
- optional protective housing minimises environmental disturbances.
- The electronically commutated DC motors have an adjustment range of 1:250. The speed-controlled base agitator ensures even filling across the whole adjustment range.
- The double-shaft discharge devices enlarge the feed-in area and ensure uniform discharge behaviour.
