It is loaded manually. In addition to the buffer hopper (one or two depending on the number of raw materials to be loaded), the machine is also equipped with screw extractors at the bottom for output product dosing. Screw rotation is driven by a gearmotor controlled by an inverter to guarantee the capacity variation required by the client. The screw feeder also has a safety system to prevent clogging at the discharge outlet to avoid damages to the machines in case of malfunctioning.
