The CentriFeeder MCV
The CentriFeeder MCV is an compact, precision feeder that is designed to measure and control the flow and total of any granular, free-flowing solid. The MCV operates over a very broad flow range and can control flows down to 12.5 lb/hr with batches as small as 30 grams. The feeder will retain its accuracy over the entire flow range of the feeder which can have a turndown ratio as high as 13:1. The CentriFeeder MCV works by measuring the flow rate of product that passes through it and then controls that flow rate by modulating an integral slide gate so that the stream of product exiting the feeder is a steady, controlled stream of product that is controlled to a set-point for either flow rate or flow rate and total.
CENTRIFEEDER MCV: FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Types of Operation: Can control flow rate for continuous flows and blending and can control total throughput for batching or filling
• Extreme Accuracy: The CentriFeeder MCV is extremely accurate and can, for some products, retain this stated accuracy over the entire range of the feeder
• Rugged Construction: Made of Rugged Aluminum and Stainless Steel, the MCV feeder's design life exceeds over one million valve cycles
• Perfect for Delicate Products: Utilizing a product's natural tendency to bridge, the Virtual Flow Stop ensures that flow stops without shutting the valve completely which both minimizes wear of the valve itself and limits damage to the product caused by crushing.
• Adaptability: The CentriFeeder MCV can be used as a standalone unit or can be used in concert for multi-product blending or batching
• Response Time: Responds to flow changes within 100 ms and will typically be within +/- 1.0% of the flow set-point after 1 second of runtime
• Compact Design: With a vertical height under 27" and a width that is less than 9", the MCV has a very compact design that can be mounted almost anywhere. The MCV is designed to be installed as an individual unit or stacked for multiple ingredient blending
• Extremely Low Flows: The CentriFeeder MCV can control flows from 12.5 lb/hr (5.7 kg/hr) up to 16,000 lb/hr (7257 kg/hr) or higher
