23.06.2014 Longstanding Dutch collaboration in screw feeder technology

Van Beek, Drunen, the Netherlands, recently supplied another state-of-the-art TwinFeeder to Hosokawa Micron in Doetinchem. With two rotating screws, driven by one motor and gear, the TwinFeeder is used by Hosokawa Micron to feed its range of Drymeister flash driers which are capable of producing an ultrafine powder directly from moist material with a very narrow particle size distribution. Products to be dried in this way can include fish waste, starch, rice flour, brewers grains, vegetable and fruit pulp and calcium carbonate. The capacity of the TwinFeeder therefore varies considerably, from no more than 40 litres per hour for laboratory applications up to 7600 litres per hour for certain production processes.  

Wouter van den Bergh, purchaser at Hosokawa Micron, said: "Our relationship with Van Beek goes back more than 25 years. We like working with Van Beek not only because of the quality of the screw conveyor systems, but also because of the ready knowledge and expertise of the employees.” Roel Kneepkens, sales engineer at Van Beek, added: “I enjoy working with Hosokawa Micron as a critical client that only accepts each machine when the dimensions and level of finish have been checked by an inspector.” www.van-beek.nl
