The Tetra Pak® Powder Feeder DN061 is an accurate, versatile and efficient feeder. It’s easy to clean and can be customized according to specific needs. The design is highly hygienic – all parts that are in contact with product are made of stainless steel, pressurized air make sure no powder enters the bearings and a sanitary gap between the motor and bearing unit prevents product from oil contamination. Dosing accuracy is ensured by a synchronous motor, where the screw is actuated by a direct coupling gear motor.
Quick facts
Ensures accurate dosing of powders for dairy products and prepared food.
Can be used in gain-in-weight or loss-in-weight processes.
Capacity
Average flow (depending on product and process): 70 to 1,700 litres/hour with accuracy down to +/- 15 grams.
Hygienic design
The Tetra Pak® Powder Feeder DN061 is manufactured from stainless steel to meet sanitary and hygiene design standards. Thanks to the concept with pressurized bearings, no powder enters the bearings unit. The swiveling hinge for motor disassembly facilitates maintenance and cleaning. And, as there is a sanitary gap between the motor and bearing unit, there is no product contamination from lubricant.
Regulated flow
A screw pitch regulates the flow to ensure accurate dosing, while the blade prevents powder from vaulting inside the hopper or bag-tipping unit and guarantees a constant and uniform density of powder feeding the screw. The screw is actuated by a synchronous direct-coupling gear motor controlled by PID. Depending on product, the accuracy can go down to +/- 15 grams.
