Micro Screw Feeders

Twin-screw microfeeders have been specially designed to deliver maximum precision at minimal feed rates, making these feeders ideal for use in the chemical and pharmaceutical processing industries. Unique design features ensure that high-value ingredients are dispensed accurately at rates as low as 32 g/h, with minimal residual material left behind in the feeder. The modular design provides greater flexibility for the process and allows easy access to all components for cleaning and maintenance. Additionally, the 12 mm and 16 mm twin-screw feeding modules are fully interchangeable, enabling the handling of a wide range of powders—from free-flowing materials to more challenging formulations.

  • DESIGN FEATURES

    To accommodate various materials and feed rates, four screw designs are available and can be easily exchanged. The design of the feeding trough, combined with the bottom-driven vertical agitator, virtually eliminates any residual product.


    Both the motor drive and the high-resolution digital weighing scale are fully enclosed within the feeder base for enhanced hygiene and ease of cleaning. The Smart Force Transducer weighing technology includes an integrated microprocessor and advanced digital filtering software that effectively suppresses environmental vibrations. The control module integrates motor control, feeder control, and an operator interface into a single unit, which can be conveniently mounted either directly on the feeder or in a control panel. Additionally, interface software is available for seamless communication with a host control system.


    Our family of twin-screw microfeeders perfectly meets the requirements for precise, low-rate feeding. It exceeds expectations in terms of short-term accuracy, reproducibility, and linearity. Feeding tests can be carried out either at the customer’s site or in one of our dedicated test laboratories.

  • MT16

    The MT16 16 mm twin-screw Microfeeder is available in both volumetric and gravimetric versions. The gravimetric version features an integrated scale built into the base unit. It boasts a precision-machined base with maximum screw opening and an agitator designed for optimal screw filling. A bottom-driven vertical agitator ensures accurate screw filling while minimizing residual material. The product contact parts are quickly detachable via a convenient quick-coupling design, making it easy to clean these critical areas. All product-contact components are made from stainless steel. A single stepper motor powers both screws and the agitation mechanism, delivering smooth and reliable operation. Additionally, the drive system is entirely oil- and grease-free. Both the motor drive and the high-resolution digital weighing scale are fully enclosed within the feeder base, enhancing hygiene and simplifying cleaning procedures. Optional protective enclosures are available to shield the unit from environmental factors like dust or moisture.
