MECHATRON® FEEDERS SCREW FEEDERS
The revolutionary MECHATRON® family of feeders not only incorporates a superior feeder design that makes so much sense it could obsolete all others, but also brings the automation features that drastically reduce capital investment and installation costs.
MECHATRON® gravimetric and volumetric feeders feature "Mechatronics," a design philosophy used to describe the total integration of mechanics and electronics. Motors and all control requirements are integrated and pre-wired in the feeder so that commissioning is accomplished by simply bringing power and communications to the unit.
Use the MECHATRON® feeder together with Schenck Process' revolutionary DISOCONT® control electronics. Integrating your bulk solids metering process into your plant's supervisory control system becomes easier and more cost efficient than you ever imagined.

MECHATRON®
"LC" SERIES CONI-FLEX FEEDER
- Low-range minor ingredient screw feeder.
- Theoretical feed rates from 0.002-23 cubic feet per hour (.059 to 650 liters).
- Complete disassembly from the non-process side.
The "L" Series Coni-Flex MECHATRON® feeder is smaller in size, but feature rich, perfect for feeding additives and other ingredients.
Key features include:
- Conical cornerless flexible walled (Coni-Flex) or stainless steel (Coni-Steel) feed hoppers.
- The ability to disassemble, clean, reconfigure or service the feed screw, motor(s) and the internal feed hopper from the non-process side.
- Floor or hanging mount configurations.
- Totally integrated and pre-wired ("Mechatronic") volumetric and DISOCONT® gravimetric control packages. Profibus, DeviceNet, Ethernet - Modbus TCP fieldbus communications, and XML web pages are optionally available.

MECHATRON® "LS" SERIES CONI-STEEL™ FEEDER
-
Low-range minor ingredient
volumetric or gravimetric
screw feeder.
-
Theoretical feed rates from
0.02 to 23 cubic feet per
hour (.57 to 650 liters).
-
Coni-Steel™ feed hopper with
or without internal
agitator.
-
The only feeder with
internal agitation that
allows the feed hopper and
helix to be removed,
cleaned, serviced or
reconfigured without
removing the internal
agitator from the extension.
-
Totally integrated and
pre-wired ("Mechatronic")
volumetric and DISOCONT®
gravimetric control
packages. Profibus,
DeviceNet, Modbus, Modbus
TCP, and EtherNet/IP
fieldbus communications are

MECHATRON® "MC" SERIES CONI-FLEX FEEDER
- Mid-range screw feeder
- Theoretical feed rates from 0.05-330 cubic feet per hour (1.4-9,300 liters).
- Completely accessible from the non-process side.
- First to offer "Mechatronics".
- Can be upgraded from volumetric to gravimetric.
- Features a unique conical mass flow hopper design.
- Coni-Flex flexible hoppers.
Key features include:
- A feeder that logically and completely disassembles from the non-process side. Augers, hoppers and other components easily clamp in and out for maintenance, cleaning, reconfiguration or service. Even extension hoppers can stay in place.
- A feeder concept that accommodates both flexible wall and stainless steel hoppers and is conically shaped for better mass flow.
- A feeder that can be purchased for volumetric use and upgraded for gravimetric operation, supports single screw or twin screw configurations, internal or external agitation, multiple motor/control arrangements, and more.
- A control enclosure built into the support structure. A unique hanging design which reduces costs, offers multiple mounting alternatives, and better load cell protection.
