Weighing & Metering Devices
Metering Wheel
Our Metering Wheel was designed to simplify calibration to improve product flow to all USC coaters and treaters. It mounts to the hopper of the coater where it rotates and captures identical amounts of product in each pocket before dispensing for coating. This is a very inexpensive way to meter product where the density of the product is consistent.
