Liquid feeders maintain a continuous, highly accurate flow by weighing liquid or paste on a suspension or platform scale and adjusting the pump rate automatically. This gravimetric control ensures precise feeding while protecting product integrity and reducing waste. Modular by design, the feeders can be tailored with different tanks, pumps, or heated units depending on material characteristics, viscosity, or temperature sensitivity. The system supports downstream integration with mixers or other process equipment as required.
Designed for accuracy and reliability
Built with robust stainless steel and advanced weighing technology, the liquid feeder ensures repeatable accuracy and reliable performance over long-term operation. Special design features, such as the pump located outside the weighing area, simplify maintenance and reduce contamination risk. The feeders achieve outstanding 2 Sigma accuracy, as demonstrated in sample tests with high-value liquids.
Compact, flexible, and easy to integrate
With a modular construction, the liquid feeder adapts to a variety of production layouts, whether installed in single-floor or multi-floor operations. Flexible connection lines allow the tank and pump to be positioned optimally for your process. Available in multiple scale sizes, these feeders can accommodate small- or large-volume requirements efficiently.
