What is a Weigh Screw Feeder?

A weigh screw feeder combines a screw conveyor with an integrated weighing system. As material moves through the screw conveyor, the system continuously measures its weight, allowing operators to maintain a consistent flow of ingredients throughout the production process.

Weigh screw feeders:

  • Improve batch-to-batch consistency
  • Reduce ingredient waste
  • Work within an automated system without manual input or adjustment
  • Deliver materials reliably to the next machine

By controlling feed rates based on weight rather than volume, weigh screw feeders help stabilize production, even when material characteristics change.

Custom Engineered for Your Application

We will customize your weigh screw feeder to accommodate the specifics of your workflow and available space. We can tailor multiple aspects of your feeder, including:

  • Capacity
  • Pitch and flighting type
  • Dimensions
  • Style of the discharge opening

APEC weigh screw feeders are available as standalone equipment or can be integrated into your existing ingredient handling system.

A weigh screw feeder should do more than accurately meter ingredients. It should fit your production goals, integrate with your process, and make the best use of your available space. Contact APEC today to discuss a custom weigh screw feeder built for your operation.
