Design Features

Vibrating Feeders for Box, Carton and Drum Filling Machines

Vibratory Feeders incorporated in the Net Weigher Assembly are quiet, high speed, responsive, two-rate (Fast/Dribble/Off), scale signaled designs. Both electromagnetic and air-operated units for hazardous products or environments are offered. Final design of hoppers and troughs are selected to suit product shape, size and flowability. Dust tight covered troughs with flex connectors and food grade designs are typical of the many optional features.

Net Weigh Hopper With
Air-Powered Gate

B.E.S.T.'S Net Weigher incorporates the latest technology available in scale design. The entire Weigh Hopper and Horizontal Slide Gate Assembly are supported on an evenly distributed Load Cell Platform, eliminating Cantilevered Load Cells which are prone to harmonic vibrations, false loading and eventual failure. B.E.S.T.'s quick dampening design eliminates vibration feedback caused by the product flow, gate opening or closing or installation area vibrations. The Air-Operated Gate is a precision Knife Type Slide Gate with full seals for handling the finest powdered products. Inflatable Fill Head attachments for manually connecting poly box liners or bags in a totally dust tight environment are optional.

Vibrating Tables

The Vibrating Table in either a Flat Deck or Grid Deck Design with Roller, provides the necessary settling action normally required with gravity filled products. Vibrator drive can be either electric or air-operated. Rollers can be gravity or powered. With powered systems, adjoining incoming and outgoing roller conveyors for empties and filled containers are furnished with electric eyes and positive stop arms, for positioning, providing a totally automated packaging line.

Control Stations

The Control Station is available in NEMA 12 and NEMA 4 and houses the digital batch controller and all the manual override, system start and emergency stop buttons. The Batch Controller/ Digital Indicator displays weight typically in tenths (0.10) of pounds, but can be arranged to display in hundredths (0.01) of a pound for special applications. The indicator has a built-in preact function that constantly updates changes in material flow characteristics, bulk density and feeder responsiveness. Up to 90 recipes can be stored in the batch controller.
