Webinar: Feeder Selection: Critical Factors That Impact Process Performance

đź“… September 9, 2026
🎙️ Presenter: McKinnon Ray, Technical Sales Engineer
🎤 Presented in partnership with Powder & Bulk Solids

In bulk solids handling, the storage vessel often gets most of the blame. However, in many cases, it is the feeder that is creating the problem.

Selecting the wrong feeder can lead to downtime, inaccurate batching, product degradation, poor discharge control, and inconsistent process performance. With thousands of powders, bulk solids, and feeder designs on the market, how can you ensure you are making the right selection?

This webinar will provide key considerations for selecting feeders for different materials and processes. We will review the essential operational, material, and financial factors that should be evaluated before making a purchase.

Whether you are handling cohesive powders, biomass, fragile pellets, or abrasive bulk materials, this session will help you build a stronger framework to evaluate equipment, minimize risk, and support smooth, continuous process flow.
