Quick change feeding devices for industrial applications
Experience seamless product transitions with quick-change feeding devices, designed for fast dismantling and cleaning, ensuring efficient batch processing and minimal downtime.

Three-Tec GmbH presents the ZD 12 T-Q and ED series Quick Change Twin-Screw Feeders, engineered for seamless integration into chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing lines. These feeders excel in rapid tool-free disassembly, facilitated by quick-release fasteners and bayonet lock mechanisms, allowing efficient transitions and contamination-free cleaning.
Designed to handle varying granular and powdered materials, including fine chemicals and nutraceuticals, these feeders support precise feeding rates ranging from 0.02 to 5,000 dm³/h. Their modular design features conical and trough-shaped hoppers, adept at ensuring consistent flow of metal powders, vitamins, and detergent granules.
The feeders boast compatibility with industry-standard control systems, enabling batch operation and integration into automated production lines. Manufactured from high-grade materials, they offer excellent resistance to chemical corrosion, suitable across diverse manufacturing processes. Each model can be customized to meet specific throughput and material handling requirements, supported by Three-Tec’s engineering expertise.
