Choosing a hygienic feeder for your bulk solid material
This article describes a classification system identifying low-, mid-, and high-level hygienic feeder applications according to process variables and explains how feeder hygiene requirements vary at these levels.
Specifying a hygienic bulk solids feeder isn’t a simple task since there’s no classification system to help you easily identify the requirements for your hygienic application or a bulk solids feeder that will meet them. In addition to hygiene requirements, a hygienic bulk solids feeder must also meet application-specific requirements related to the material being fed, the operating environment, cleaning and sanitizing requirements, cost, and more.
