Continuous Weighing Screw Feeder for Limestone Powder Dosing
.
The Challenge: Precise Continuous Feeding of Fine Powders
A chemical processing plant required a reliable method for the continuous dosing of limestone powder. The objective was to maintain a precise flow rate (kg/h) and allow for real-time adjustments to the supply to ensure downstream process consistency.

- Integrated Feeding: The limestone powder is metered into the system via a Rotary Valve (Rotary Airlock), ensuring a steady intake and pressure seal.
- Precision Suspension: The entire auger assembly is suspended from a fixed heavy-duty base via three high-precision load cells.
- Closed-Loop Control: The system’s weight indicator calculates the real-time discharge rate in kg/h. If the flow deviates from the setpoint, the system automatically sends a signal to the inverter on the rotary valve, instantly correcting the feed rate.

The Result: Real-Time Flow Monitoring and Stability
This automated dosing solution allows the operator to monitor, increase, or decrease the supply with surgical precision. By automating the feedback loop, the plant eliminated manual monitoring and significantly reduced dosing errors in their chemical production line.
