Bonnot Feeder Options

Bonnot Twin Shaft Feeders use large-diameter twin shafts and variable-pitch knives to handle large batch volumes and control residence time. Horizontal Bale Feeders ingest full rubber bales for pelletizing or compounding, using a dual-drive system that holds output variation to within +/-5% (or +/-1% with the gear pump option).

Basic Theoretical Factors in Extrusion Augers

If you take a bolt, having a nut on it, and revolve the bolt, in a fixed axis, both the bolt and the nut revolve. Then, if you hold the nut with a wrench, and revolve the bolt, in the proper direction, the nut will travel forward and fall off the end of the bolt. A clay auger works in a similar manner. Inside of the closed auger barrel there is a “clay nut” which moves forward on the screw. The clay nut is ephemeral. The clay nut is constantly being destroyed by passing off the end of the auger, and it is constantly being reformed by feed material entering the closed auger barrel from the feed hopper, or vacuum chamber.
