An authentic dry solids volumetric feeder must

discharge that material, ideally over a variable
output range. Where an auger type volumetric
feeder is concerned, the auger measures volume,
discharging the ‘measured volume’ as it rotates
within a discharge spout (i.e., each revolution of
the auger discharges a specific volume of material). Dissimilar Speed

But most importantly, the ability of any auger type dry solids (Single Common Drive for the

Acrison has designed a number of Volumetric Feeders, each
possessing a specific degree of functionality and versatility

Acrison’s various model volumetric feeders are each available Auger/Agitator Mechanism
with a number of different size metering augers, interchange- Model 170 Series
able on the individual model feeders. Each metering auger
designation (size) spans a specific output feed range. Overall,
feed rates range from 0.0012 upwards to 6600 cubic feet per
hour, depending upon the selected feeder model and the size
of the metering auger. In addition, and as standard, the
metering augers of all Acrison Volumetric Feeders are
equipped with variable speed drives to enable a 20:1 feed

Designed for 24/7 operation, Acrison volumetric feeders Model BDF Series
are heavy-duty in construction and extremely durable.
Maintenance requirements are bare minimal and their
