Company Presentation:


K-Tron is a global leader in the design, installation and maintenance of process feeders and pneumatic conveying systems for the handling of bulk solids.

K-Tron is an industry expert in designing systems to convey hard to handle materials. Specialized in high accuracy feeding and metering of powders and bulk materials, K-Tron develops, manufactures and oversees every aspect of its equipment, thus ensuring the greatest accuracy, consistency and long-term value. K-Tron holds numerous patents for weighing, mechanical and control technologies and their application to bulk solids handling.

K-Tron is represented by more than 80 sales organizations with over 100 offices in 60 countries around the world.

Test Lab Request
Selecting the right feeding or conveying equipment depends on material handling characteristics, required accuracy, rate of material throughput, data communication needs and physical constraints such as plant headroom and the processing environment. K-Tron`s modern material test lab facilities in New Jersey, Kansas, Switzerland and China are available to help you make the optimal equipment selection.

Hands-on Training
The K-Tron Institute provides hands-on startup, operator and maintenance training for all supplied equipment specific to your application. Training can be conducted in K-Tron classroom facilities conveniently located around the world or may be arranged on site.

Global Service and Parts Support
K-Tron maintains a worldwide network of factory trained service engineers and central parts supply centers to provide on-site solutions to keep your process up and running and minimize costly downtime. 24/7/365 technical assistance is also available to help solve customer problems.

K-Tron feeders - Overview
K-Tron feeders provide high-accuracy feeding solutions to handle a wide range of ingredients - from chocolate chips to fiberglass and from floodable powders to waxy liquids.

The K-Tron product line includes volumetric feeders, loss-in-weight feeders, weigh belt feeders and mass flowmeters for bulk solids and related controls for continuous or batch processes. These feeders are used in the plastics, chemical, detergent, food, pharmaceutical and other industries.

Feeding by Volume
Every Feeder Starts as a Volumetric Feeder
In principle, volumetric feeding is the simplest, most economical feeding solution available. Bulk material is held in a hopper and constantly fed into a process per unit of time. A gravimetric feed rate may be inferred through a calibration process where a timed sample is taken and weighed, and screw speed adjusted accordingly. Although there is no weight feedback to assure feeding accuracy over time, this may not be a concern for materials with consistent bulk density.

Choosing the Best Volumetric Feeder for Your Process
K-Tron offers a wide variety of single and twin screw volumetric feeders. With exchangeable screw design choices, you can handle a wide range of applications involving prefeeding, feeding or batching of materials with consistent density, particle size and moisture content. Volumetric models of Bulk Solid Pump ( BSP ) Feeders are an economic choice offering excellent accuracy.

Single Screw Feeders
handle free-flowing materials such as pellets and powders.

Twin Screw Feeders handle more difficult materials such as pigments, sticky, bridging or flooding powders, fibers and fiberglass.

Feeding by Weight

Gravimetric Feeders Offer a Window into Your Process
In gravimetric feeding, dry bulk material or liquid is fed into a process at a constant weight per unit of time since weight is a variable that can be captured by a weighing module. Consistent control and complete monitoring are possible. In principle, gravimetric feeding combines monitoring of the feeding process with a feedback loop that enables accurate material control. K-Tron offers both loss-in-weight feeders and weigh belt feeders

Bulk Solids Pump (BSP)
Bulk Solids Pump for precise feeding of free flowing bulk materials in a process

Positive Displacement Feeding

The Features
The new 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. They utilize positive displacement action to feed free flowing materials with astounding accuracy, offering uniform discharge, consistent volume and gentle handling.

The 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.

Gain-in-Weight Batching
Custom Engineered Gain-in-Weight Batching Solutions
K-Tron Gain-in-Weight Batching Stations provide flexible and economical batch prep for applications up to eight components and 100 recipe lines.

K-Tron Pneumatic Conveying Solutions
K-Tron pneumatic equipment offers both self-contained and central vacuum conveying solutions.
The P-Series receivers offer sanitary design for either dilute or dense phase vacuum conveying applications and can handle powders and other difficult materials at rates up to 4000 kg/hr (8800lb/hr). Applications include simple `up and in` systems to custom central conveying projects.

The K-Tron pneumatic equipment includes Aerolock® rotary valve, Series II 2400 vacuum receiver, blower package and diverter valve product lines as well as engineered systems for rail car and truck unloading, as well as for its storage-to-production-line transfer systems which are used in the plastics, compounding, food and chemical industries.

K-Tron Systems Engineering
Processors can receive a complete material handling system, engineered by K-Tron`s systems engineering group-- one source for all of you material handling needs.
