DSM Vibratory Hopper Feeder 0.5 CF Tedea Huntleigh 1042 Load Cell Kendrion

DSM Vibratory Hopper Feeder 0.5 CF Tedea Huntleigh 1042 Load Cell Kendrion WS3B36

This DSM vibratory hopper/feeder is a 0.5 cubic foot bulk material feeding system that uses a tilted, vibrating platform to meter and dispense powder or granular material onto an integrated Tedea Huntleigh Model 1042 single-point load cell. The Kendrion WS 3B 36 vibrating solenoid drives the platform motion, allowing controlled, continuous material flow. The hopper and base are constructed of stainless steel throughout.

Applications

Vibratory hopper feeders of this type are used in gravimetric (loss-in-weight) and volumetric dispensing systems where precise, controlled delivery of powders, granules, pellets, or other bulk solids is required. The load cell continuously measures the weight of material remaining in the hopper, allowing a process controller to regulate feed rate by adjusting vibration intensity or frequency. Common applications include pharmaceutical manufacturing, chemical processing, food production, plastics compounding, and laboratory-scale material dispensing where accuracy and repeatability matter. The Tedea Huntleigh (also marketed under the TotalComp brand) Model 1042 is a well-regarded single-point load cell widely used in platform scales and feeder systems across these industries. The Kendrion WS-series solenoid vibrators are standard components in European-built vibratory feeding equipment, designed to run on 230 VAC / 50 Hz power as common in European and international industrial environments. A separate process controller would be needed to integrate this feeder into an automated dispensing or batching system.
