Batch Feeder

Rotte’s batch feeding solutions offer a flexible, high-precision, and automated platform for the controlled delivery of material batches in rubber and elastomer production.

Our systems are fully customizable and seamlessly integrate into existing production lines. This allows for safe, efficient, and precise material flow management—minimizing downtime, reducing scrap, and significantly improving product quality.

The Batch Feeder – Technology for Optimally Integrated Manufacturing Processes

Delivering materials in precisely defined batches is essential to many production processes. Traditional manual feeding methods, however, are prone to error, time-consuming, and can significantly impact production speed.

Automated batch feeding systems optimize these workflows by dosing materials accurately and delivering them to the production line at exactly the right moment. This ensures that each part or component is integrated into the manufacturing process in the correct quantity, with maximum precision, and without delay.

With Rotte’s batch feeding solutions, companies benefit from increased efficiency through reduced setup times and stabilized production flow. Precisely measured batches also reduce material waste and contribute to a more efficient overall supply chain.

Product Example

Batch feeder for cutting polymer sheets into predefined strips

The batch feeder for the mixing room consists primarily of a mounted cutting unit and a feed belt. The sheets are manually placed onto the conveyor belt. A top belt ensures the batch enters the cutting process evenly. The material is then transported through a sensor-monitored cutting chamber. The sheet is laid in a loop onto the customer’s integrated or existing weighing belt, where it is weighed. Once the target weight is reached, the cutting process is triggered. Up to three sheets, with a total maximum thickness of 36 mm, can be processed simultaneously. The batch feeder comes with a fixed cutting head. Upon request, it can also be equipped with a movable cutting head, enabling supply to two mixer lines.

  • Batches with varying Shore hardness are cut according to the recipe
  • Batches with varying Shore hardness are cut according to the recipe
  • Up to three layers can be cut simultaneously
  • Sensor-based monitoring of the cutting chamber
  • Top belt ensures even material feed
  • Optional add-ons: Weighing and feed system, movable cutting head, flexible drive arrangement, Smart Factory panel
