Acrison ® Model BDF-1.5-2
For Dry Solid Materials
Designed for both continuous and batch-
ing applications, the Model BDF-1.5-2
Volumetric Feeder provides superior
materials-handling capabilities and an
exceptionally broad feed range.
Introduction
The Model BDF-1.5-2 Volumetric Feeder is a ver-
sion of Acrison’s uniquely versatile Model BDF-
1.5 Feeder; however, the Model BDF-1.5-2
includes two separate, independently driven
metering augers, which when combined, pro-
duce a very wide feed range.
Specifically, the Model BDF-1.5-2 Feeder elimi-
nates the undesirable, if not burdensome task of
changing the size of the metering auger of a
continuous dry solids feeder whenever an
uncommonly wide feed range is required.
Additionally, the Model BDF-1.5-2 provides both
high (rapid feed) and low (dribble) feed outputs
for batching applications (i.e., a larger metering
auger feeds the majority of the material for the
selected batch weight, and a smaller metering
auger provides the final“dribble”amount so that
the highest degree of batch cut-off accuracy can
be achieved.
Metering accuracies generally range
between ±1 to 2 percent or better (error)
for the majority of products. Accuracy is
based on a given number of consecutive
one minute samples.
