SCHENCK Accurate MECHATRON Auger Feeder (Unit A)

Schenck Process Mechatron® Single-Screw Volumetric Feeders

Optimize your material handling precision with these high-performance Schenck Process Mechatron® Single-Screw feeders. Renowned for their modularity and “Tuf-Flex” agitation technology, Mechatron units are engineered to provide a consistent, pulse-free flow of dry bulk solids. Both units are in excellent mechanical and cosmetic condition, have been well-maintained, and are available for immediate integration into your production line.

These versatile feeders are the industry standard for operations requiring high-accuracy metering and dosing of free-flowing materials without the risk of material degradation.

Engineering & Performance Features

Single-Screw Efficiency: Optimized for free-flowing pellets, granules, and coarse powders, providing high-volume accuracy and consistent material displacement.

Modular Mechatron® Design: Features a unique, tool-less disassembly system. This allows for rapid cleaning, maintenance, and material changeovers, significantly reducing operational downtime.

Flexible Conical Hopper: Utilizes an external agitation system that gently massages the hopper walls. This ensures a consistent “mass flow” and eliminates common issues like rat-holing or bridging.

Precision Auger Drive: Equipped with a high-torque, variable-speed drive system to provide a wide turndown ratio for exact volumetric control.

Superior Material Integrity: The “massage” action of the Mechatron system prevents the mechanical shearing or heating of materials, preserving the quality of sensitive ingredients.

Proven Reliability: These units show minimal wear and have been kept in top-tier operational shape, making them a reliable alternative to new equipment.

Versatile Industrial Applications

The Schenck Mechatron® Single-Screw series is a multi-industry workhorse, specifically designed to meet the rigorous standards of:

Plastics & Compounding: Precise dosing of resins, masterbatch, colorants, and plastic pellets into extruders or injection molding lines.

Food & Beverage Processing: Accurate metering of dry ingredients, spices, grain, salt, and nutritional fortifications for mixers and coating systems.

Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical: Controlled feeding of granular excipients and free-flowing active ingredients for blending and tablet pressing.

Chemical & Material Science: Reliable delivery of granular catalysts, pigments, and dry reagents in continuous or batch chemical processes.

Agricultural Processing: Ideal for precise seed treatment, fertilizer blending, and the consistent delivery of feed additives.
