Moving Powders With Ease
For more than 22 years, Trantec Solids
Handling Ltd have been designing and
manufacturing powder dosing equipment
for a huge variety of different customers
and industries. Since 1997, the year in
which the company manufactured the
first Volumetric Metering Screw Feeder,
the name Trantec has come to stand
for innovation in bulk solids handling
technology and equipment supply.
If a customer has a particular requirement
for a product that may have, for example,
poor flow characteristics, we can
modify or configure our screw feeders
if necessary – although the likelihood
is that we will have experience of that
product or very similar and have a
solution without the need for costly
modifications.
We design and manufacture a range of
metering screw feeders that are modular
in design, offer easy-clean features and
quick release mechanisms. In short,
whatever your material we will have a
metering screw feeder that can handle it.
In order to stay in tune with the market
and ahead of the competition we are
constantly looking at ways of improving
our products.
Every metering feeder that we
manufacture can achieve optimum
performance and accuracy. Working in
conjunction with many Food Processing,
Packaging, and Pharma/Medical sectors
we have developed feeders that are
equipped with unique features that allow
processing of fine powders and large
particles (harsh materials).
Manufactured using grade 316 stainless
steel, our metering feeders offer
excellent levels of corrosion and chemical
resistance. Equipped with a sanitary finish
we use EC and FDA approved materials
of construction with crevice free internal
welds and various finishes including
mirror polished. Our metering feeders
offer a wide range of feed rates – from
20 grams to 20 tonnes per hour. Control
options include loss in weight, gain in
weight and gravimetric based systems.
