Critical Role of Material Testing in Selecting the Right Screw Feeder Trantec puts material testing at the heart of every feeder configuration, allowing even the most difficult powders and bulk materials to be handled reliably.
Critical Role of Material Testing in Selecting the Right Screw Feeder
Trantec puts material testing at the heart of every feeder configuration, allowing even the most difficult powders and bulk materials to be handled reliably. Consistent and efficient material flow starts with understanding your material. At Trantec Solids Handling, they prioritise material testing to identify the ideal screw feeder configuration for each application. By assessing key characteristics like particle size, cohesiveness, and flowability, they ensure reliable dosing and continuous feeding. Why Material Testing Matters? Every material behaves differently, and these differences can directly affect a screw feeder’s performance, impacting consistency, dosing accuracy, and reliability. For example: * Particle shape, size, and distribution – Irregular or unevenly sized particles can cause bridging, segregation, or uneven flow. * Moisture content – High moisture can cause clumping, rat-holing, or sticking inside the feeder. * Cohesiveness – Sticky or cohesive powders may resist movement, causing interruptions in flow. * Flowability – Poorly flowing materials can create uneven feed rates and dosing

Say Goodbye to Overpriced Augers
Tired of Overpriced Augers That Don’t Perform? Struggling with Inaccuracies from Poor Quality Augers or Wear and Tear? If so, keep reading.. Is It Time to Explore Options Beyond Your OEM Auger Supplier? If you’re tired of paying high prices or augers that don’t meet your expectations, it’s time to make a change. As augers age, they naturally experience wear and tear, leading to operational inefficiencies and inaccurate material handling. Whether it’s uneven feeding or excessive wear, these issues can significantly impact productivity and become compromised, leading to inefficiencies and, in some cases, contamination. At Augers UK, a division of Trantec Solids Handling, they manufacture high-quality augers while ensuring the best quality-to-price ratio in the industry. How do they do it? By manufacturing all parts in-house, they maintain complete control over product quality, and with decades of expertise, they have adapted and can streamline production with manufacturing methods that minimise human intervention. This allows Augers UK to deliver superior augers at competitive prices, saving you

Optimising Hygiene and Efficiency in Food Manufacturing
Trantec’s Quick-Release screw feeder system optimises food powder handling by reducing contamination risks, cleaning downtime, and production inefficiencies with its easy-to-clean, tool-free disassembly design. A Solution for Powder dosing Challenges In the food manufacturing industry, hygiene is not just a standard; it’s an absolute necessity. Whether working with flour, salt, sugar, or protein powders, food manufacturers face many challenges in preventing contamination during powder handling. These powders are notoriously tricky to manage, often clumping together, attracting moisture, and requiring stringent hygiene protocols to avoid contamination and waste. Food powders, while integral to countless products, present several challenges in a manufacturing setting. Common Challenges in Powder Handling * Bacteria Growth: Trapped residues can provide breeding grounds for harmful bacteria. * Cross-Contamination: Mixing powders from different batches can compromise product integrity and safety. * Clumping and Blockages: Powders can easily clump together, leading to feeding inconsistencies and production delays. * Extended Downtime: Traditional feeders often have hard-to-reach
