Coperion K-Tron

Gentle, precise feeding of free-flowing materials

The unique Coperion K-Tron Bulk Solids Pump (BSP) feeders have been specifically designed and engineered to provide gentle, precise feeding of free-flowing pellets, granules, flakes, powders and friable products.

The BSP feeders do not use the usual screws/augers, belts or vibratory trays to convey the material. Instead, they utilize positive displacement action to feed free flowing materials with astounding accuracy, offering uniform discharge, consistent volume and gentle handling. All BSP feeders have vertical rotating discs that create a product lock-up zone, conveying the material smoothly from storage hopper to discharge outlet, achieving true linear mass flow.

Design Features

Utilizing a simple design and the principle known as „lock-up“, the material in the feeder is moved together in true positive displacement, producing excellent linearity and breakthrough accuracy levels. The compact feeder is cleaned in seconds, making it ideal for applications with frequent material changes.

With only one moving part and no pockets or screws, the design is simple, providing ease of use and almost zero maintenance. There are practically no areas for the product to trap so cleaning is very easy. Reliability is assured with few parts and very little strain on any one item due to the low friction of the system. Easily damaged or low melt point additives are also protected from degradation. The inlet slide gate allows for material shut-off and removal of the feeder for cleaning and hopper emptying.
