Preferred term

volumetric feeder  

Subject

  • Food sciences and technology

Example

  • Two basic types of dry feeders are used to feed extruders: volumetric and gravimetric. The former assumes that the density of the feed materials does not change over time. The volumetric feeder is less expensive than the gravimetric variety. The most common is the single-screw feeder with a volumetric feed rate proportional to the screw speed. (Source : INRA)
