Coperion K-Tron MT12 & MT16 micro screw feeders are engineered to deliver highly accurate, continuous feeding of powders in chemical and pharmaceutical processes. Their twin screw design ensures consistent, reproducible dosing even at very low feed rates, making them ideal for high-value or specialty ingredients.
Reliable, modular design
Constructed with durable stainless-steel components and modular feeding modules, these feeders combine accuracy with flexibility. The bottom-driven vertical agitator minimizes residual material, while a single stepper motor drives both screws and agitation, providing oil- and grease-free operation with minimal maintenance.
Compact and flexible integration
The MT12 & MT16 are available with interchangeable 12 mm and 16 mm feeding modules to accommodate a wide range of powders and feed rates. Their modular construction and quick-coupling product contact parts simplify cleaning, maintenance, and integration into existing production lines.
Optimized for hygiene and precision
All product contact parts are stainless steel, and the design allows easy access for cleaning. Optional protective enclosures and ATEX/NEC compliant versions enable safe operation in demanding environments. Integrated Smart Force Transducer weighing technology ensures high short-term accuracy, reproducibility, and linearity for critical processes.
