Precision in food processing starts with reliable product delivery. FPEC’s metering screw conveyor provides controlled, uniform flow of product to critical processing points, so your line stays balanced, your batches stay accurate, and your production stays on track.
Whether you’re feeding blenders, grinders, or formers, consistent product feed is non-negotiable. Uneven loads and fluctuating delivery rates can compromise product quality and disrupt downstream equipment. Our metering screw conveyor ensures predictable output by delivering material at pre-determined rates based on your operational needs.
When product accuracy matters just as much as throughput, this is the tool to get it done right.
Flow Regulation Built Into Your Process for More Consistent Feed Control
Maintaining even flow in a fast-paced environment takes precise engineering. FPEC’s metering screw conveyor is purpose-built to integrate with your existing system and control product volume with high accuracy, even during variable-speed operations.
Designed for use in both raw and marinated product applications, our conveyors can be configured for volumetric or weight-based delivery depending on your system’s requirements. By metering product from hoppers, totes, or previous conveyors, this equipment ensures downstream components receive the right amount every time.
Each unit is calibrated to your layout and product specifications to support productivity, eliminate material surges, and prevent underfeeding or overflows that slow your line.
