accuracy, outstanding reliability, a compact, closed and robust design. The
system provides a large feed range up to 25 tph, e.g. for light fluffy materials.
After the precise dosing at the rotor weighfeeder discharge, the fuels can either
be directly fed pneumatically into the burners or mechanically transported into
the calciner in-feed area.
Figure 2 shows an installation for wood powder with explosive potential.
The execution is in accordance to the ATEX regulation and has a shock
resistance design. The pneumatic feed distance is approximately 120 m. This
multifuel installation enables the customer to change the fuel type at any time.

Bulk preloading application
The Rotor Scale VRW can be utilised for fast and precise bulk
material preloading of fine or coarse materials, such as cement,
clinker, or green coke. These applications are an interesting
alternative in case it is not possible to equip loading positions
with platform scales. The loading rate is normally designed for
150 tph; higher feed rates are also executed.
Figure 6 shows a truck preloading plant where four Pfister
installations are in operation. Each scale is measuring the
cement load, ensuring a fast and accurate truck loading, with a
designed capacity for 150 tph.
Figure 7 shows a truck preloading installation for clinker.
The Rotor Scale is working on a load capacity of 150 tph
and the clinker is fed into the machine via a stair chute. The
enclosed design also reduces dust

process. The modular concept
allows the highest possible flexibility
for using different materials in
respect to the wide range of feed
rate and variations in material
specifications and behaviour. The
dosing block itself can be integrated
into all engineering concepts, especially for modernisation
projects. The enclosed, modular and robust design makes
it convenient to operate and maintain the dosing system.
FLSmidth Pfister’s engineering know-how supports the
customer’s conception of building a suitable installation
with high efficiency and ROI.
The company also takes care to ensure an excellent
ratio of total cost of ownership (TCO) to its customers.
A modern maintenance management, technical after
sales service, 24 hour hotline, telesupport, customer
training, professional rework and customer optimised
spare part management are all part of FLSmidth Pfister’s
