TRW-K, Pfister’s rotor weighfeeder for dosing crushed coal in power plants, is based on Pfister’s pat-
ented rotor weighfeeder technology which reliability has been proved over 20 years in operation world-
wide with more than 1,700 installed units. The robust and wear-resistant design makes the system
extremely reliable. High measuring loads provide high dosing accuracy. Powered by the state-of-the-art
dosing strategy ProsCon®, the flow rate is controlled to high stability. This makes it possible to achieve
constant and accurate dosing of crushed coal. The TRW-K is designed as a totally closed, dust-tight and
all-metal device in an explosion-proof design. This altogether guarantees a coal firing process with
maximum efficiency.
TRW-K + ProsCon®: the innovative solution for dosing of crushed coal.

History
History
Pfister has more than 110 years of experience
in manufacturing industrial weighing equipment
and is part of the FLSmidth group since 1998.
The rotor weighfeeder technology was devel-
oped for highly accurate dosing of bulk material
by Pfister in 1984 and it is now time tested and
state of the art in the cement-production indus-
try. Over 1,700 systems are in operation world-
wide. Historic Pfister scale.
Ludwig Pfister,
founder of the company
With that experience, Pfister developed in 1996 in 1894.
the rotor weighfeeder TRW to feed all kind of
coarse material. More then 150 units are suc-
cessfully in operation world-wide. The TRW-K is
especially designed to dose and feed crushed
coal to mills in power plants. The benefits are
highly accurate gravimetric dosing and simple
design resulting in high reliability and high effi-
ciency.

Operation Principle
General Principle
The TRW-K rotor weighfeeder is a breakthrough
in continuous, gravimetric dosing of granular
and lump coal or coke into a mill. The dosing
system is hermetically sealed and explosion-
proof. The motor and weighing devices are ac-
cessible from the outside.
Weighing
Able to handle single lump sizes
Feeding of up to 200 mm.
Operation Principle
The crushed coal is transported in the
rotor wheel (2) from the inlet (1) to the
outlet (3) by scraper bars. The weigh-
5
ing axis (A-A) is located through both
A
bearings (4) and through the middle
4
of both inlet and outlet. However, the
A 1
axis is eccentric to the middle of the 6
rotor and its shaft. The gravimetric
4
force of the coal in the feeder is
2
measured by the load cell (5). The
measured value provides information
on the coal mass in the rotor weigh-
feeder before material discharge. The
content of the rotor weighfeeder with 3
the related rotor position is stored by
the Pfister weighing electronics CSC.
