The result is a medium-capacity feeder featuring a special negative angle wall hopper geometry and an diagonal agitator that prevents bridging and ensures optimal bulk material flow into the screw. In combination with other innovative components, mass flow is optimized and a uniform screw fill level is achieved.
This makes the feeder the first jointly developed product of Kubota Brabender Technologie. Brabender became a wholly owned subsidiary of Kubota in June 2022.
