Zeppelin PFC - Process Rotary Feeder

Characteristics

• Wide variety of services possible with one product type, thanks to sizes ranging from PFC 565 to PFC 850
• Generally more robust design to ensure high torque and therefore also the cutting function:
  • Robust aluminum housing with stainless steel cutting application
  • Reinforced rotor (shaft, bridges, spacers, bearing)
  • Reinforced construction bearing plates (bearing, sealing)
• Wear-resistant cutting edges thanks to stellite welding on the rotary feeder bridge
• No removable blades used on the bridges
• Automatically changing rotation direction (rotor switches to the opposite direction at a defined torque to ensure that agglomerated product does not cause blockages)
• Possibility of simulated forward/backward operation with adjustable torque (power consumption)
• Output assistant system integrated into housing (bulk material is loosened by means of gas being injected into the emptying rotor pocket)
• Minimal wearing of seals thanks to simple, robust design (mechanical seal with soft counter-ring)
• Low leakage thanks to:
  • optimal, customized gap design
  • optimal number of bridges
  • process heating (minimization of gaps)
• No hydraulic components (e.g. electric drive instead of hydraulic drive)
• Process heating with temperature monitoring
• Differential pressure up to 1.5 bar (g)
• Mechanical design pressure up to 10 bar (g)
• High mechanical temperature resistance from -20 to +120°C
• Flange joints bored in accordance with DIN 2501 PN10 FF or ANSI 150 lbs FF
• Declaration of incorporation or declaration of conformity in accordance with the Machinery Directive and declaration of ATEX conformity available
