Twin screw feeder
Twin screw feeder for challenging bulk materials in food industry
Twin screw feeder solutions for volumetric & gravimetric feeding
K-Tron twin screw feeders are high-precision feeding solutions engineered for reliable handling of challenging bulk materials. Designed for both continuous and batch processes, this twin screw feeder delivers consistent, accurate feed rates even when processing difficult or sensitive powders, fibers, or granulates.
The feeder is ideal for:
- Free-flowing powders: flour, sugar, salt
- Sticky or bridging powders: pigments, cocoa, fiber
- Fragile or shear-sensitive materials: fiberglass, lumpy solids
- Moist or challenging bulk powders
Benefits:
- Accurate gravimetric and volumetric feeding for challenging bulk materials
- High long-term stability and repeatable performance
- Modular design for quick adaptation and material changes
- Easy-to-clean construction with stainless steel product contact parts
- Optional hazardous location compliance (ATEX, NEC)
This feeder is compatible with plastics, chemicals, and mineral processing applications. For more details, please visit the twin screw feeder page on the Coperion performance material website.

K-Tron twin screw feeders maintain smooth, continuous feeding by controlling screw speed to match target feed rates, regardless of material characteristics. This ensures precise metering while protecting product integrity, making them suitable for demanding industrial, pharmaceutical, or food applications.
Designed for performance and reliability
Constructed from high-quality stainless steel with modular components, these feeders provide long-term accuracy and durability. Optional features, like continuous online taring, further reduce manual maintenance and ensure consistent operation.
Compact, adaptable, and flexible
Available in a range of sizes from the KT20 small feeder to the robust T80, these feeders integrate easily into tight spaces or existing lines. Quick-change options on certain models simplify transitions between recipes, reducing downtime and increasing productivity.
Simplified cleaning and maintenance
Modular hopper, screw, and agitator designs allow easy removal and cleaning. Open-frame and enclosed configurations support strict hygiene standards in food and pharmaceutical environments, while facilitating easy access for maintenance.
