Hygienic dosing systems designed for rapid changeovers
In high-performance manufacturing, particularly within food production and pharmaceuticals, cleaning and changeovers are among the most disruptive and time-consuming stages of production. Equipment must therefore be designed for rapid strip-down, effective cleaning, and reliable return to service without compromising hygiene or consistency.
The QR Tec screw feeder solution from Trantec Solids Handling has been developed to meet these demands, supported by over 30 years of expertise in bulk solids handling.
Hygienic Design, Reduced Downtime
The QR Tec feeder system enables complete disassembly via a quickrelease handwheel system, allowing tool-free dismantling in under three minutes, including the feeder body. This full accessibility exposes all product-contact surfaces, improving cleaning effectiveness, inspection, and hygiene compliance.
Crevice-free construction and smooth surfaces minimise product retention, reducing cleaning time and lowering the risk of contamination. This makes the system well-suited to hygienecritical environments, including food, pharmaceutical, and chemical processing.
All removable components are suitable for autoclave cleaning, enabling controlled, repeatable sanitation processes. For operations requiring frequent changeovers, pre-cleaned spare components can be installed immediately, enabling restart in under ten minutes and maintaining production continuity.
In operation, the QR Tec range enables faster cleaning, simpler handling, and reduced disruption to production.
Consistent Flow, Controlled Output
A contra-rotating agitator promotes reliable material flow by preventing bridging, ensuring a steady feed into the auger, even with more challenging powders. Interchangeable augers allow the feeder to be configured for a wide range of materials, from fine blends to coarser products.
Each auger is precision-machined using CNC technology, ensuring tight tolerances, durability, and consistent long-term performance.
Available in both volumetric and gravimetric configurations, the QR Tec system supports varying accuracy requirements while delivering stable, repeatable output.
Engineering You Can Rely On
Trantec’ s capability is strengthened by fully in-house design and manufacturing, ensuring quality control and application-specific customisation. Customers are supported through material testing and flow analysis, enabling accurate system specification from the outset.
Whether handling fine powders or granular ingredients, the system is configured to deliver predictable performance, reducing commissioning risk and supporting dependable dayto-day operation.
Practical Performance, Proven in Use
In operation, the QR Tec range enables faster cleaning, simpler handling, and reduced disruption to production. Its design allows rapid strip-down while maintaining accurate, controlled dosing.
By combining accessible construction with durable, precision-engineered components, Trantec Solids Handling delivers a solution suited to real production environments, helping manufacturers maintain output, minimise downtime, and meet stringent hygiene requirements.
