AccuRate®’s MECHATRON® Feeder Receives Patent For Its Laterally Removing Feed Hopper 

AccuRate® was recently rewarded U.S. Patent Number 6,568,567 for its MECHATRON® bulk solids feeder line.   
The design permits users to laterally remove the feed hopper from the non-process side of the MECHATRON®.  This feature allows access to the extension hopper without having to remove the hopper from the frame, which makes it easier to clean the interior section of the feeder.  With the ability to remove the feed hopper, cleaning the nozzle without disconnection is also achievable. 

MECHATRON® feeders come in volumetric and gravimetric models and can be disassembled, reconfigured, cleaned, and serviced from the non-process side of the feeder.  Feed rates range from .002 to 1,100 cubic feet (.057 to 32,160 liters) per hour.
