In your plant, equipment was planned that requires waste plastic as a heat source. However, waste plastic often causes supply issues such as entanglement, agglomeration, and bridging with existing feeders, making efficient system design difficult. Therefore, we developed a "feeder for waste plastic" that can supply not only rigid plastics but also soft plastics with irregular surface materials. As a result, customers no longer need to use expensive equipment to process waste plastic in the previous stage, leading to cost reduction and quality assurance. [Products we propose] ■ Funkenwap feeder - Weight-balanced waste plastic constant weight supply device ■ DC control panel *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

This is a groundbreaking system that has changed the hundred-year history of machine-made noodles. Why can delicious noodles with a "handmade flavor" be made with the Flow Jet Mixer? ○ The dough becomes homogeneous because flour, liquid, and air are continuously mixed in three layers using pins on a rotating disk. ○ There is no uneven water absorption, and the gluten structure in the flour is formed more tightly, effectively utilizing the gluten. ○ By adjusting the noodle-making machine to appropriately release this air, the texture of the product changes depending on the degree of release, making it easier to match customer preferences. ○ There is no uneven water absorption in the dough, and with more air incorporated, cooking time has been reduced.

The loop conveyor scale is a circular weighing device with pivot points at both ends on the diameter of the circular transport loop conveyor, featuring an entrance on one side and an exit on the other. Thanks to its unique principles and structure, it is an extremely accurate and reliable circular balance-type powder weighing machine that resolves many challenges. It detects the net weight of the powder continuously transported for half a loop using a load cell, and calculates the net supply flow rate through operations with the rotation. The loop conveyor itself has a balance structure, and regardless of the presence of adhesion, the fixed parts are scraped by rotation, and the impeller remains evenly balanced on both sides, preventing zero point variation.
