KOCKUMS AUTOFLEX
Flexible Wall Feeders
Available in
Asia, Canada & USA, Latin America and OceaniaThe AUTOFLEX Flexible Wall Screw Feeder is ideal for controlling accurate feed of granules and dry powders, especially for products that are non-free flowing like Titanium Dioxide, Calcium Carbonates, Bakery Ingredients, Clays, Oxides, Pigments, and Perlite.
Many industries, including Foods, Pharmaceutical, Chemical, Agri, Paint, Building, Mining, Plastics and Water Treatment have widely accepted this high-performance screw feeder.
One of this feeder's unique and main features is its synchronized flexing of the urethane hopper, providing a massaging effect and continuous, reliable product flow with even the stickiest materials that conventional feeders struggle with.
How it works
External paddle-type massagers provide two flexing zones, at the top of the hopper where the product enters and at the base of the hopper near the auger.
This gentle massaging action prevents rat holes and bridges from forming within the hopper, promoting mass flow. The paddles have two adjustments to optimize the massaging action: the hopper flexing depth and the ability to emphasize the top or bottom zones. This allows the feeder to be customized to suit the product characteristics.
Configuration
Feeders may be configured to operate in Volumetric, Loss of Weight (batching), or Loss in Weight (continuous) modes.
Applications
Typical applications for this feeder are under bulk bag discharge stations, feeding into or out of a weigh hopper, recipe batching systems, feeding mix tanks, or directly into other processes. A range of extension hoppers are available to accommodate specific application needs.
Bulk materials: flakes, granules, pellets and powders
