Flexibility was a key design goal in the development of the ProFlex® C feeders. The AC drive motor assembly and material discharge positions can be exchanged, optimizing the feeders ability to accommodate different mounting and clustering requirements for up to eight feeders. Additionally, the Model 500 ProFlex® C feeder supports both single and twin-screw configurations allowing the feeder to easily be adapted to handle a wide variety of application requirements.

ProFlex® C feeders feature an asymmetric flexible polyurethane feed-hopper and a multi-point external agitation system that can be adjusted without influencing screw speed.

Servicing the feeders can be done from two different sides, which reduces space requirements while providing easy access to all critical components. Disassembly is done quickly and easily without the need for special tools.

  • Up to 8 feeders can be positioned in various space saving arrangements.
  • Easy and quick disassembly.
  • Model 500 feed rates from .035 to 18 cubic feet per hour.
  • Model 6000 feed rates from 3.5 to 212 cubic feet per hour.
