The first and probably the only completely hygienic loss – in – weight feeder !
The MCPI ® Fine dosing weight loss feeders are unique for their original design, totally focused on processing and cleaning efficiencies.
A unique and innovative design
The simple design: the drive and weighing sensors are protected in a Stainless steel housing.
The process performances, over the best screw feeders (for accuracy + extraction efficiency of difficult powders), in both batch or continuous process.
100% hygienic design.
Maintenance free feeders ( no wearing parts).
Safe for users
Batch or continuous modes with dedicated controllers.

*Depend on the material
Hygienic loss in weight feeder with scattering function
A short reaction time and a reduced and constant overshoot
A large difference between coarse and fine flows (over 100 to 1). This point is essential to achieve a short dosing time and a good accuracy (in batch process).
A short term stability of the output flow (in continuous process).
Extraction of difficult materials
An effective extraction of the most difficult materials (eg pigments, aromas, TiO2, starch…).
As a consequence, our feeders don’t need agitators in the storage hopper (advantages: safety, cleaning, maintenances).
Flexibility
With the same feeder, it is possible to work with abrasive ingredients (sand, glass..) or very cohesive powders.
A very wide range of ouput flow rates
Respect of material
The powder extracton is performed without mechanical friction.
The integrity of delicate ingredients is preserved, no compaction occurs during operation.
Hygienic design
Design free of retention area, the feeder drains completely. Within a few dozens of seconds, without tools, the parts in contact with the feeder are disassembled.
The material is only in contact with stainless parts.
Water resistant, the feeder can be washed with hot water. The inclined surfaces promote drainage).
All mechanical parts are protected in a housing (no more difficult parts to clean – eg: motor, load cells…)
Reduced maintenance
The absence of mechanical friction is synonymous with reduced wear.
An accidental intrusion of a foreign body along with the material has no consequence on the feeder (unlike screw feeders where the same cause produces irreversible damage).
Safety for operators
The maximum stroke of the mechanical parts is less than 2 mm, thus excluding safety risks.
No agitator or rotating parts inside the feeder.
MCPI weighing controllers designed for the operation of accurate feeders
MCPI Fine dosing ® : an exclusive and patented technology, for the highest level of performance
Hygienic design according the definition of EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering and Design Group):
Simple design rules
Easy access to all machine surfaces for cleaning, disinfection and inspection
Eliminating hidden areas where deposits and biofilm can accumulate
All surfaces in contact with the material are “FDA” conform .
