Weigh Feeder

The Weigh Feeder is an industrial feeding and weighing system designed for continuous measurement and controlled feeding of bulk and granular materials. By combining conveying, weighing, and flow control in one system, the Weigh Feeder provides stable material feeding for continuous production processes.

Weifang Zhitian manufactures Weigh Feeder systems for different material characteristics, feeding capacities, and process requirements. The equipment can be used for limestone, cement, coal, clinker, gypsum, fly ash, mineral powder, fertilizer, and other dry bulk materials.

What Is a Weigh Feeder?

A Weigh Feeder is a type of quantitative feeding equipment that continuously measures the material transported through the feeding belt. The weighing system detects the material load, while a speed sensor measures belt speed. The controller combines these signals to calculate the instantaneous feeding rate and cumulative material quantity.

The Weigh Feeder can automatically adjust the feeding speed according to the required setpoint. This makes the system suitable for production lines that require continuous and controlled material feeding.

How Does a Weigh Feeder Work?

Material enters the Weigh Feeder through the inlet and is transported by the belt. As the material passes through the weighing section, load cells measure the material load on the belt. At the same time, a speed sensor detects the belt speed.

The weighing controller processes the load and speed signals to calculate the actual material flow rate. According to the preset feeding value, the control system adjusts the motor speed to increase or decrease the material feeding rate.

This working principle allows the Weigh Feeder to provide continuous weighing, quantitative feeding, and real-time flow monitoring during operation.
