New Feeder Provides Optimal Bulk Material Flow

The NX Series feeder in the medium feed capacity range handles poor-flowing, sticky powders, as well as fibers and pellets will be showcased for the first time.

It combines the proven mechanical design of one of Kubota Corp.’s most innovative gravimetric feeders with Brabender Technologie GmbH’s proven load cells and motors. The result is a feeder featuring a special negative angle wall hopper geometry and a diagonal agitator that prevents bridging and ensures optimal bulk material flow into the screw. In combination with other innovative components, mass flow is optimized, and a uniform screw fill level is achieved. 

First Joint Product Development Milestone

Kubota Brabender Technologie is one of the world's largest providers of gravimetric and volumetric feeding systems and discharge devices. The company's products are used in various sectors and industries for both batch and continuous production. Almost exactly one year after integration, the company has reached the first joint product development milestone with the new NX feeder - the first German-Japanese product under the new Kubota Brabender Technologie brand that complements and rounds out the company's portfolio. "Our ambition is to harness the synergies of both companies and to jointly develop successful, high-quality products for the global market," explained Bruno Dautzenberg, managing director of Kubota Brabender Technologie.
