Fuma FA-1060 — Volumetric Screw Feeder / Auger Conveyor

Fuma · FA-Series · Volumetric Feeder · In stock · Quote within 24h

The FA-1060 is a compact volumetric screw feeder from Fuma, designed for accurate dry-bulk dosing in batching and packaging lines. The unit draws powder, granule, pellet, flake and short-fiber material from a refillable hopper, then discharges it at a controlled rate through a motor-driven auger into the downstream process — typically a multi-head weigher, VFFS bagmaker, sachet machine, or batch mixer. It is the entry-size model in the Fuma FA-10xx volumetric family and shares the same mounting footprint and control philosophy as the larger FA-1080 and FA-1100 units, so plants that already run Fuma feeders can drop the FA-1060 in without redesigning the line.

Process engineers, packaging OEMs and MRO teams regularly source the FA-1060 as a direct-fit replacement for aging bulk material handling units, or as a cost-effective alternative to higher-priced European and US volumetric feeders. KOEED covers the full Fuma feeder lineup alongside the nine major automation brands (Allen-Bradley, Siemens, Mitsubishi, Omron, Fanuc, Schneider, Yaskawa, Panasonic, KEYENCE), so a single RFQ can bundle a feeder with the PLC, HMI and servo stack that drives it.

Key Specifications

Datasheet Highlights

• Volumetric dosing — constant-rate discharge from a refillable hopper, drop-in upgrade path to loss-in-weight gravimetric control when batching accuracy tighter than ±1–2% is required.
• PLC-agnostic I/O — discrete start/stop, run permissive, fault and analog setpoint interface cleanly with Siemens S7-1200 / S7-1500, Allen-Bradley CompactLogix / ControlLogix, Mitsubishi MELSEC iQ-R, Omron CJ/NX, Schneider Modicon M340/M580 and Yaskawa MP controllers.
• Sanitary stainless contact parts — contact surfaces in stainless steel with food-grade surface finish option, suitable for ingredient dosing on snack-food, seasoning, dairy-powder and nutrition lines.
• Compact footprint — the FA-1060 is the smallest frame in the Fuma FA-10xx family and is designed for head-of-line mounting directly above a multi-head weigher or VFFS former, saving floor space in retrofits.
• Modular upgrade path — hopper, auger pitch, motor and control panel can be re-specified in the same FA-Series envelope, so the FA-1060 can grow into a larger FA-1080 or FA-1100 duty point without changing the line layout.

Typical Applications

• Powder-coating lines feeding premix into extruder hoppers and fluidized-bed mixers
• Snack-food and seasoning dosing on VFFS, sachet and stick-pack machines
• Dairy-powder, protein-powder and nutrition supplement ingredient batching
• Chemical dosing for additives, pigments, catalysts and masterbatch
• Plastic-pellet and masterbatch feeding at injection-molding and extrusion cells
• Replacement of failed volumetric feeders in MRO / field-service calls — send us the nameplate photo and we will cross it to a Fuma equivalent
• Pharmaceutical excipient dosing on tablet-press and capsule-fill lines (food-grade option)
