Weighing and Dosing System Conveys Four Tons per Hour

The Volkmann Conweigh is a gravimetric weighing and dosing conveyor system available on either the Volkmann VS or PPC vacuum conveyors. Special design features ensure the vacuum conveyor is isolated from external forces. Weighing occurs throughout the entire conveying cycle to accurately establish the precise weight of the material discharged into the process. The target weight of material to be conveyed can be entered into the control unit via a touch screen display, or recipes can be created automatically. Product collection is also possible from various discharge stations which can also be programmed. The combined transfer-dosing system can be typically used with batch weights greater than 4 lb with intermittent material delivery. The maximum quantity depends on the conveying capacity of the system but can be as high as 4 tn/hr with an accuracy of 99 to 99.7% of the displayed value. All units are designed for simple and quick disassembly and cleaning.
