With the choice of various discharge valve types (powered flap and active driven butterfly gate valves) the P100 can be used for convey only applications such as hopper loading, as well as loss-in-weight feeder refill applications, where the receiver is not always emptied completely.

General Information

Conveying Rates:

Based on a distance of 15 m (50 ft) and bulk density of 0.5 kg/dm3 (31 lb/ft3). Rates vary with material characteristics, conveying distance and plant layout.

  • P100 max 4,000 kg/hr (8,800 lb/hr) 

Design

  • All components are constructed of stainless steel (DIN 1.4404, AISI 316L) and are available in bead blast, satin or mirror polish finish. All units have reverse jet filters and include tri clover quick release fittings, food grade gaskets and an automatic filter cleaning system.

Mechanical Features

  • Sanitary design for easy cleaning
  • Rugged modular design
  • Steep cone angles ensure excellent discharge
  • Large area reverse jet filter for efficient powder conveying

Controls

  • For single receiver applications, we offer the LSR Controller. In loss-in-weight feeder refill applications, the LSR Controller can also be interfaced with Coperion K-Tron SmartConnexTM feeder controls.
  • For systems with multiple receivers, Coperion K-Tron microprocesser controls or a variety of PLC control solutions are available, which can also be integrated into Coperion K-Tron feeder control systems.
