Feeding
Devices

We offer a diverse range of feeding devices designed to meet various process needs across a broad spectrum of products. These versatile devices support the production of materials with viscosities ranging from low to high and melting temperatures up to 300 °C (572 °F). Our feeding solutions include the BernDrop® pastillator, available with different shells and hole diameters for producing pastilles, as well as the BernFlow®, Casting Box, and Overflow Weir for flake production.

BernDrop® with Refeed Bar
  • Low to high viscosity products
    (~150 – 50,000 mPa.s)
  • Smooth shell and refeed bar
  • Best for products that tend to stick to the shell
BernDrop® with Raised Shell
  • Low to medium viscosity products
    (~2 – 5,000 mPa.s)
  • Special geometry of the raised shell, no refeed bar
  • Lower maintenance due to the reduction of wear parts
Casting Box
  • Low to medium viscosity products
    (~2 – 5,000 mPa.s)​
  • Vertical gate to regulate product thickness
  • Typically used for thin products with low melting temperatures
BernFlow®
  • Medium to high viscosity products
    (~1,000 – 50,000 mPa.s)​
  • Adjustable horizontal knife at bottom of device to regulate product thickness
  • Closed vessel to avoid oxidation of product
Overflow Weir Feeder
  • Low to high viscosity products
    (~150 – 10,000 mPa.s)​
  • Simple and cost-efficient device which is easy to clean
  • Product thickness controlled by product feed pump

Dis­char­ging
Devices

The following discharge devices are used to remove the solidified product from the Steel Belt: A product breaker is used for removing flakes, while a blade assembly is used for removing pastilles.

Product Breaker
  • Creates shaped flakes
  • Flake size can be changed by adjusting the design and spacing of the bottom breaker shaft
  • Easy acess to breaker housing
Blade Assembly
Blade Assembly
  • Secure and efficient discharge of the pastilles from the Steel Belt
  • Wide range of blade materials available, depending on the product being processed

Single Belt Cooling Systems
Single Belt Coolers are used for producing pastilles and flakes, thus they can be operated with all available feeding devices as well as a blade or breaker assembly at the discharge. With unique features such as clip-on water spray nozzles, UHMW snap-on slider bed belt support, and removable squeegee tank assembly, Single Belt Coolers ensure the highest cooling efficiency and easy maintenance. The high-quality Steel Belt guarantees seamless and reliable belt operation. Additional equipment like water skids or hoods for fume reduction can be provided upon request.
  • Compatible with all Feeding Devices
  • Highly efficient cooling concept - environmentally friendly due to closed water circuit
  • Steel Belts with perfect belt geometry, due to production in endless condition lead to optimal belt run and life
Double Belt Cooling Systems
Double Belt Coolers are designed to increase capacity and process products that tend to curl away from the Steel Belt. With products positioned between two chilled surfaces, they achieve faster cooling and higher capacity within the same overall cooler length. They are also effective for cooling thick products at high rates. The upper belt is flooded with water, while the lower belt uses a spray system like the Single Belt Cooler. Additionally, they can function as a Single Belt Cooler by lifting the upper belt. Optional equipment includes water skids or a top cover for the upper belt.
  • Upper and lower belt cooling for high efficiency and effective cooling of thicker products (e.g. resins or pitch)
  • Best for products that tend to curl away from the Steel Belt
  • The upper Steel Belt is flooded with water, which is drained at the end of each zone by a pump
