Online program for automatic selection of the optimum bulk ingredient metering feeder:

Brabender FeederScout

A sophisticated program for automatic selection of the optimum gravimetric or volumetric bulk ingredient metering feeder for a specific purpose can be found on the website of Brabender Technologie KG, one of the leading global feeder suppliers. After the user has entered the relevant basic data of his application in the program, the FeederScout determines the optimum metering feeder best suited to the particular requirement in due consideration of both technical appropriateness and cost-efficiency. Upon request the FeederScout also submits a quotation along with its feeder proposal.

The FeederScout has been made possible by months of work spent by an expert team of process engineers, technicians and computer programmers from Brabender, all of them having been in the bulk ingredient feeding business for decades. Profound specialist knowledge and an extensive database keeping a record of almost 15,000 feeding trials with thousands of bulk ingredients formed the basis of this unique program, which can give even the most experienced process engineers and plant designers more certainty about their choice of feeders.

Beside the bulk ingredient parameters entered (name, feed rate, bulk density, bulk ingredient class, etc.), the FeederScout takes into account a multitude of other parameters gained by a systematic evaluation of the feeding trials and stored in the program, such as ingredient-specific filling ratios of feed screws and trays, flow characteristics, special properties and particularities often not thought of when selecting a metering feeder. Further, if several different feeder types turn out appropriate, the FeederScout compares these with respect to optimum suitability of their feeding principles (screw, twin screw, vibrating tray, etc.) as well as to best effectivity of their respective agitation systems promoting ingredient flow (flexible hopper with paddle agitation, stirring agitator). Based on the results, the program suggests the most suitable solution.

Brabender FeederScout


The annual "Best Product Awards" reader voting conducted by a leading German technical magazine on process technology and automation to determine the "most exciting" novelties of the year 2008 has resulted in a high rank of the Brabender FeederScout in the category "Process Technology & Optimization".

To be shortlisted for the actual voting, a difficult hurdle had to be cleared first. From all product releases of the year published on the journal's online portal only those were put up for the voting that had gained the most clicks within the first four weeks after publication. Readers could then cast their votes for the products they considered most interesting in the year 2008 among 15 top products in each of a couple of predetermined categories. In the category "Process Technology & Optimization" the FeederScout took a brilliant fourth place among all the innumerable products presented during the year.

The FeederScout can be accessed via the website of Brabender Technologie KG.
