Tecweigh® Gravimetric Feeders offer unsurpassed performance through a simple, yet extremely effective design. The revolutionary GRC32 Controller combined with Tecweigh’s family of gravimetric and volumetric feeders incorporates a superior feeder with an integrated scale base to provide the most accurate feeding solution in the bulk material handling industry. Lower installation costs, Quicker commissioning (start-up) process and lower cost of ownership than any other feeder on the market. Tecweigh’s Loss-in-Weight feeders are the smartest choice for accuracy, consistently reporting documentation and dependability.
Tecweigh has long been known as a leading designer and manufacturer of in-motion weighing and metering products for dry material handling applications in the food, chemical, plastics, mining, and aggregates industries. The polyurethane FLEX-FEEDTM hopper is stronger, more resilient, and abrasion-resistant than vinyl used by many competitors. No cracks or ledges exist to collect material. The hopper interlocks with the cabinet for a tight seal. The patented auger and feed tube designs allow for quick, toolless removal and re-assembly. Tecweigh Feeders are flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of dry materials, from fine powders to large pellets. Our three different sizes of feeders can move from .003 cu. ft. /hour to more than 900 cu. ft./ hour

The Tecweigh GF5 Gravimetric feeder is our low-rate feeder designed for continuous or batching applications. Depending on auger/tube size, this unit will feed rates up to 6 cubic feet per hour. For optimal performance, the GF5 feeder comes standard with dual motors allowing independent control of both auger and agitation. The integrated single point load cell simplifies installation, as the unit arrives fully assembled and tested.
The Flex-Feed® Volumetric Feeder is designed to handle the most difficult to feed dry materials. From powders to pellets, with feed rates of up to 900 cubic feet per hour. Typical applications provide approximately 2-4% volumetric accuracy given consistent material bulk density and flow characteristics. Our patented Flex-Feed® polyurethane hopper with external agitation paddles, flexes the feed hopper to promote flow, condition the material, and help reduce and eliminate product degradation, rat-holing, or bridging. This also helps keep the auger full of material ensuring accurate volumetric feed rates.
These feeders are available in three sizes: The “5 Series” which is the smallest, with a 0.5 cubic foot capacity Flex-Feed® hopper, the “12 Series” offers a 1.2 cubic foot capacity, and the “28 series” is the largest with 2.8 cubic foot capacity. An extension hopper may also be added based on application requirements and customer preference.
To compliment this line, we also offer a Hard-Sided Volumetric Feeder for those who demand all steel construction, and do not require any agitation to promote the flow of the material.
The Tecweigh ® Model VF12 is the mid-capacity unit within the Flex Feed® Family of feeders. It is the most versatile unit, offering the largest range of feed rates in the Flex Feed® family product line. The flexible hopper, with external agitation paddles, makes easy work of the most difficult material. Utilize the dual drive configuration to allow independent control of auger speed and agitation level. Available for food grade, industrial & hazardous area rated applications. Add one of the available extension hoppers to increase the useable storage volume of the unit.
