Some applications allow direct feeding by the operator via a loading table.
The operator empties the bins, trays or bags on this loading area and a vibrating feeder ensures the feeding of the packaging machine. In these configurations, the operator works on a platform.
The most common application for feeding fragile bulk materials to the weigher is the pendulum bucket conveyor. The pendulum bucket conveyor meets all the criteria of the application and is perfectly suited for packaged products. The advantages of choosing this bucket conveyor technology are: high throughput, no product breakage, flow controlled feeding, equipment hygiene and cleanability.
Belt conveyors are an alternative to tilt bucket conveyors but offer fewer advantages. The floor space is larger and the containment (hygiene) is less controlled. Also, the alternative by transfer screw remains possible for products not very sensitive to breakage.
