This Schenck MechaTron is a used metering screw mixer and blender — sometimes referred to as a gravimetric feeder or dosing screw — a type of machine used to meter, blend, and convey bulk materials at a controlled, consistent flow rate. Schenck is a well-established German engineering company with a long history of producing precision weighing, feeding, and dosing equipment for industries such as plastics, chemicals, food processing, and building materials.
The machine is built entirely in stainless steel and is configured with a single metering screw measuring 60 mm in diameter, with a pitch of 52 mm, a shaft diameter of 32 mm, and a screw length of 740 mm. The screw runs at 1,375 rpm, driven by a 0.75 kW motor rated for 230/400 V. This combination of screw geometry and motor size is suited to fine, controlled volumetric dosing of powders or granules.
The unit is supplied with its hopper, which has a capacity of 380 litres and measures 845 mm in diameter by 940 mm in height. The hopper is equipped with a vibration motor rated at 0.37 kW on 230/400 V, which assists material flow and prevents bridging or compaction within the hopper. The inlet accepts connections at both DN150 and DN200, while the outlet is DN200, giving flexibility in how the machine is integrated into an existing process line. The main inlet diameter is stated as 200 mm.
The footprint of the machine is 1.1 × 1.2 metres, with a total installed height of 1.7 metres, making it reasonably compact for a unit with a 380-litre hopper. The machine is listed without a control unit. This Schenck MechaTron metering screw mixer and blender was manufactured in 2007 and is offered in used condition from a location in Barneveld, Netherlands.
