Tradition & Progress

FLSmidth Pfister has more than 110 years of experience in

manufacturing of industrial weighing equipment. It has been
member stock quoted FLSmidth Group/Denmark since 1998.

The patented rotor weighfeeder was invented by Pfister in

1984 to feed pulverised fuels for the cement burning process. FLSmidth® Pfister®
This state-of-the-art dosing device has proved its properties in weighfeeders are
more than 2,000 installations worldwide.

FLSmidth Pfister additionally supplies know-how for equip- - designed
ment, related to the coal feeding process in order to ensure - assembled
problem-free material handling and optimal pneumatic trans-
- tested
port of the coal.

Fuels have a wide variety of material characteristics. Thus,
FLSmidth Pfister helps to design individual installation
solutions.

Functioning Principle
of Pfister® Rotor Weighfeeders
The picture below exemplary displays a rotor weighfeeder for
dosing pulverised fuel. However, the weighing and dosing
principle of all Pfister® rotor weighfeeders is identical:
Material is extracted out of the material silo and is trans-
To achieve high accurate feeding, the
ported in the rotor chambers from the inlet (1) to the outlet
angular speed of rotor is controlled
(2). The rotor is mounted on bearings which form a weighing
invers to its loading.
axis (A-A). This axis (A-A) is eccentric to the rotor shaft, and
through the middle of inlet (1) and outlet (2). The third point
is suspended at a load cell (3) which weighs the content in the
rotor wheel gravimetically (F). This means the rotor weighfeed-
er measures actual kilograms and is therefore a real scale.
The measured gravimetric force (F) provides information on
the bulk material mass in the rotor weighfeeder before mate-
rial discharge. The load of the rotor and the related rotor
wheel position, is stored by the weighing electronics. The rotor
wheel speed is controlled invers to the measured force (F). The
feeder discharges the material at the outlet (2) with a highly
accurate mass stream.

Prospective Control ProsCon®:

Advanced Weighing Electronics
The electronic controller calculates the required speed of the 3
motor for the time of the discharge. It uses the set feed rate
and the measured bulk material mass to calculate the angular
speed of the rotor (see chart). Less material in the rotor results
in a higher angular speed, more material in a lower speed.
With this pro-active principle, the prospective control
ProsCon®, Pfister® rotor weighfeeders achieve highly accurate
compensation of variations in rotor loading and material den-
sity. This results in an extremely accurate short- and longterm
feed rate.

Customer Benefits
of FLSmidth® Pfister® rotor weighfeeders
Outstanding reliability & long service life
- Simple design with minimal number of
functional parts
- Slowly moving rotor (4-8 rpm)
- Steel only in contact with material
High short- and long-term accuracy
- Prospective control ProsCon® (see below)
- Online calibration during operation if
pre-bin is equipped with load cells
- Insensitive to pressure fluctuations in the
process
Intuitive operator interface
- The rotor weighfeeder is an advanced
mechatronic system
- However, it is easy to operate
- Flexible, reliable communication to the local
plant control system
Reactive Control Compared to
Proactive Control Strategy
Other feeders are based on a reactive control
(follow-up) rather then a pro-active control.
Deviations in feed rate is measured and thus
pre-feeding is adjusted. The measured deviation
is already sent to the process. This also requires a
sensitive pre-feeding device.
With the pro-active rotor weighfeeder, the
material mass is measured before it leaves the
rotor weighfeeder. That means that the speed
of the rotor is adjusted before the material gets
discharged into the system. The result is an
extremely high accuracy.

Easy maintenance
- All measuring parts and drives are
accessible from the outside
- No cleaning necessary since no spillage
possible
- Integration of material extraction, weigh-
ing, feeding and dosing in one system

Instantaneously adjustable feed rate

- High accuracy in a range from 10% -
100% of max. feed rate
- Feed rate can be adjusted promptly without
loss in accuracy Prospective control ProsCon®,
- Prospective control ProsCon® ensures virtually pro-active control strategy
no reaction time in changes of the feed rate

Rotor Weighfeeder
Pfister® DRW
Highly accurate and Indirect firing of pulverised fuels Pneumatic transport of the coal to

reliable gravimetric require highly precise dosing devices.

Rotor weighfeeder Pfister® DRW is
feeding of pulverised used to extract pulverised fuels such
fuels like lignite dust, as hard-coal, lignite or petrol coke
petrol coke or coal out of a storage silo and feed it with
dust directly to the high accuracy and consistency to the
burning process burner to support an optimal flame.
the burner is an essential part of the
feeding system. The rotor weighfeed-
er is directly connected to a blower.
Clean transport air is blown through
the feeder and transports the fuel to
the burner. FLSmidth Pfister supplies
calculation of the transport pipe
system and blower, matching the
individual installation.
The amount of transport air depends
mainly on the coal feed rate and
length of the pipe. FLSmidth Pfister
calculations provide optimal fuel
transport to avoid material segrega-
tion in the pipes and thus pulsations
or CO peaks.
