After the end of World War II, the company had to adapt to meet new needs, expanding its product range. The first design was developed to become the Fahr T22 in 1940, and the Fahr Holzgasschlepper HG25 in 1942. One of its most important products was the self-binder, manufactured in 1911, while the first tractor, the Fahr F22, was built in 1938 from an idea of Wilfred Fahr and Bernhard Flerlage, and had a 22 hp (16 kW) Deutz F2M414 twin-cylinder diesel engine.

Thanks to the off-centre auger arrangement, up to eight feeders can be positioned next to each other. Vertical container walls mean that virtually every millimetre is used to the max and impact positively on the bulk material flow. Flexible installation options, different feeder sizes and hopper sizes are adapted to each available space. The Schenck Process loss-in-weight feeders have, for instance, been optimised for the compound industry. agitators to improve the quality of the bulk material. Loss-in weight feeders for bulk materials consist of: storage tanks, controlled feeding devices such as augers, chutes, pumps as well as scales or load cells, loss-in-weight controllers or rather loss-in-weight feeder controllers. These are compensated for by adapting the auger speed in order to ensure the product is dispensed evenly. These fluctuations occur in the filling capacity of the augers and in the bulk density of the material. Gravimetric feeders, for instance, have slight fluctuations in their feed rates. Loss-in-weight feeder controls continuously check whether the material is flowing.Īll components and/or any product they contain is continuously weighed during operation: the feeder, the hopper and the material. Controlling the loss-in-weight feeder changes the feed rate and as a result the speed of weight loss matches the desired feed rate. Principle: When the material is fed through the feeder, the weight of the system decreases. The design varies from compact constructions to modular concepts depending on usage. They are also used in the food industry and in laboratories by means of appropriate storage containers and adapted feeding devices. They are used in many continuous processes such as feeding extruders requiring a high level of short-term feeding consistency. They are very flexible and can handle bulk solids, liquids and even poorly flowing products.
They work with extreme precision under optimum ambient conditions. Loss-in-weight feeders can be used for both small to medium feeding ranges. Loss-in-weight feeders are genuine all-rounders and have replaced many volumetric and gravimetric feeders since the 1980s.
