Inclined at up to 30 degrees, the feeder is ATEX compliant for Zone 22 (Zone 21 internals). The screw feeder features full flights, with variable pitch, to accommodate flow from the dryer and the powder’s significant wall friction properties.Previously, Ajax Equipment has supplied the chemicals producer with an agitated screw feeder and screw conveyor. The producer supplies monomers and performance enhancers for the plastics and polymers market, as well as, manufacturing advanced intermediates for pharmaceutical, agricultural chemicals and photographic applications.Ajax’s technical director, Eddie McGee, commented “The inclined screw feeder integrates into the powder transfer process, giving a reliable and consistent feed to the big bag station.”
