Dry Solids Processing Equipment Made Better By Design

The MTP is an upgrade of the DB1T Volumetric Screw Feeder which incorporates the latest technology including a smaller footprint. The DB1T is still available upon request.

Product Overview

Metalfab’s MTP Volumetric Screw Feeder provides all of the features available with the standard Metalfab feeders but is designed for the handling of more difficult to feed materials. To solve these problems, the MTP has been designed with greater clearances and larger agitator/conditioner screws (including one for the 6˝ size) and the downspout at the discharge end has been eliminated.
