The smart weigh belt (SWB) feeder ensures smooth, continuous flow by weighing material directly on the belt and automatically adjusting belt speed to maintain precise feed rates. This principle allows for accurate metering of large volumes while protecting product integrity, making it ideal for both process and batching operations.
Designed for performance and stability
Built with high-quality stainless steel and advanced weighing technology, the SWB offers outstanding long-term stability and repeatable accuracy. The optional continuous online taring system automatically compensates for drift or buildup, reducing downtime and eliminating manual recalibration.
Compact, flexible, and easy to integrate
Thanks to its low-profile construction, the SWB fits easily into tight spaces or retrofit installations. Available in open-frame and enclosed configurations, it adapts to various process environments from sanitary food production to industrial applications requiring dust containment.
Simplified cleaning and maintenance
The SWB’s streamlined design minimizes material buildup and allows quick access to key components for maintenance or cleaning. Open-frame models are especially suited for applications with strict hygiene requirements, offering full visibility and easy washdown access.
