A program for automatic selection of the optimum gravimetric or volumetric bulk ingredient metering feeder for a specific purpose has been published on the world wide web by Brabender Technologie KG, one of the leading global feeder suppliers. After the user has entered the relevant basic data of his application in the program, the `FeederScout` determines the optimum metering feeder best suited to the particular requirement in due consideration of both technical appropriateness and cost-efficiency.
The `FeederScout` has been made possible by months of work spent by an expert team of process engineers, technicians and computer programmers from Brabender, all of them having been in the bulk ingredient feeding business for decades. Profound specialist knowledge and an extensive database keeping a record of almost 15,000 feeding trials with thousands of bulk ingredients formed the basis of this unique program, which can give even the most experienced process engineers and plant designers more certainty about their choice of feeders.
