 Many enhancements on display
Switzerland. K-Tron is introducing a new version of the Premier Pneumatics model 2410 vacuum receiver. The powder and pellet receiver, designed to handle powder, pellet, regrind or granular materials in the chemical, food and plastics industries, is shown with a new Series 4 controller. The 2410 receiver is available in either aluminum or stainless steel construction.
Actiflow, the latest K-Tron invention, is introduced to the European market. It is designed to prevent cohesive materials from bridging in stainless steel hoppers. The company says that, for the majority of difficult flowing materials, the device will make arch breakers obsolete when used in loss in weight (gravimetric) feeding applications. It is maintenance free and has no product contact.
The K-Tron booth will feature the new multiple feeder/single line operator interface for the KCM. K-Vision, featuring multi-language support, including Chinese, and a selectable quad screen feature.
Also exhibited is the enhanced MT12 Micro Feeder, designed for processors that require feed rates as low as 20 grm per hour. Recent enhancements in the design include a new inverted negative cone hopper design to aid material flow, redesigned bottom agitator to reduce residual material, new sanitary scale design that includes complete internal cabling and a more robust frame.
Other equipment models on display include a KT20 pharma feeder as well as a pharma version of the Premier Pneumatics vacuum P30 receiver.
