Filler separator?


Explanation:
The usual translations for Weiche do not seem to fit here. It appears to me to be more like a 'lock' used in shipping but since you open it, perhaps a bit more freedom in the translation is necessary.

Hopper / loading separator / splitter


Explanation:
Hallo Julie,

Befüllweiche is a strange term and I suppose "Beschickungstrichter" is actually meant. I had a similar translation into German recently where there were they used hoppers for the coating material.

If hopper isn't meant than coating material is plitted or separated, however mormally multi-color or multimaterial coating involves cleaning the whole station. So a separator or splitter doesn't really make sense.

Cheers
Claudia

Please forget the hopper, but I found a few interesting links that will help you with your translation.

The Kugelcoater got a \"pneumatic filler and discharge\" and I suppose this is what your text means by \"Befüllweiche\". In any case, have a look at the three links:
