AC Variable Frequency Inverter Drives VFD for Screw Feeder 400V
Screw feeders are used in various industries for the metering of material into a production process. Screw feeder design closely resembles that of a screw conveyor, but unlike a screw conveyor, a screw feeder is required to be very precise and accurate. The screw in a screw feeder is completely filled with material, compared to a screw conveyor which is typically 40-50% filled. That is part of the reason the material is accurately discharged when the feeder screw is rotating at a controlled rate.
Application Challenges
· Fast Response
Capable of accurately regulating material feed.
· Load Detection
Capable of detecting an overload or no material in the screw situation.
· Speed Range
Be able to provide the required amount of torque throughout the speed range.
· Trip-less Operation
The product must be capable of continuing to operate after a momentary power loss or a fault.
Features of G7 matching feeder application
Features |
Benefits |
Open Loop and Closed Loop Flux Vector Motor Control |
Excellent speed stability and low speed torque production is possible due to Flux Vector Control technology. |
Overtorque and Undertorque Detection |
Both the Overtorque and the Undertorque Detection functions can sense if there is an overloaded feeder or lack of material. |
PID |
Accurate and quick response control of material into the production process |
Auto-Restart after momentary power loss. |
Feeders can quickly restart after fault or momentary power loss. |
Power loss Ride-Through |
The material feed is not interrupted during brief power loss. |
Torque Limit |
Use of Torque Limit can prevent screw or gear damage due to excessive torque from foreign material in the load. |

Tips:
A variable-frequency drive (VFD) is a system for controlling the rotational speed of an alternating current (AC) electric motor by controlling the frequency of the electrical power supplied to the motor. A variable frequency drive is a specific type of adjustable-speed drive. Variable-frequency drives are also known as adjustable-frequency drives (AFD), variable-speed drives (VSD), AC drives, microdrives or inverter drives. Since the voltage is varied along with frequency, these are sometimes also called VVVF (variable voltage variable frequency) drives.
