The Powder Feeder Advantage

The Automated Process Equipment Corporation (APEC) powder feeder can improve your system efficiency by metering the right amount of materials from the ingredient source—such as a bulk bag or another container—into a mixer or another downstream process.

Our powder screw feeders are designed for precise metering of dry additives and are available in Loss In Weight or Volumetric configurations.
