Mother Daughter Screw Feeder

Mother Daughter Screw Feeder

A large screw for bulk transfer with a small screw at its outlet, interlocked from the same panel, so one machine covers both ends of the feed range.

Cosben Engineering’s mother daughter screw feeder is designed for applications where both coarse and fine feeding are required in a single system. In many processes, a single screw struggles to maintain accuracy across varying feed rates – especially when switching between bulk transfer and precise dosing. This is where a twin screw feeder setup becomes useful.

Also referred to as a dual screw feeder or coaxial screw feeder, the system combines a main (mother) screw for bulk feeding with a smaller (daughter) screw for fine control. This arrangement allows the feeder to handle larger material volumes while still maintaining accuracy at lower feed rates.

The daughter screw is mounted at the outlet of the main screw, ensuring better control over discharge and reducing fluctuations. This makes it suitable as a powder twin screw feeder in applications where feeding consistency directly impacts process quality.

Key Features & Benefits

Five points on what one feeder saves over buying two.

01

Coarse + Fine Feeding in One System

Combines bulk transfer and precise dosing within a single feeder setup.

02

Improved Feeding Accuracy

Ensures stable output even at low feed rates.

03

Optimized Operating Cost

Reduces the need for separate systems for coarse and fine feeding.

04

Stable Material Flow

Minimizes fluctuations and improves downstream process consistency.

05

Flexible Integration

Can be mounted on tubular or trough screw conveyors and feeders.
