Feeders have one of three discharge systems: Screw discharge, disk discharge and drum discharge. Most modern feeders use the screw discharge system. The size of the discharge screw and the speed range of the variable speed motor allow for a wide range of discharge rates. The feeders can be connected electronically or electrically to the main control panel or microprocessor that controls the our mill. In addition, the feeder can be equipped with load cells which convert the feeder from a volumetric feeder into a gravimetric or loss-in-weight feeder.
