Volumetric Flex-Feed

The Flex-Feed® Volumetric Feeder is an ideal solution for your solids metering needs. Designed to handle difficult materials, the Flex-Feed® polyurethane hopper with external agitation paddles, flexes the feed hopper to promote flow, condition material, and help reduce and eliminate product degradation, rat-holing or bridging. This also helps keep the auger full of material ensuring accurate volumetric feed rates. Our single auger design provides uniform and accurate metering of the product.  These Volumetric Feeders provide a robust and reliable solution while maintaining a low cost of ownership.

They are available in optimal sizes to suit your application needs. The base feeder sizes include the “5 Series”, which is the smallest, with a 0.5 cubic foot capacity Flex-Feed® hopper; the “12 Series” offers a 1.2 cubic foot capacity; and the “28 Series” is the largest with 2.8 cubic foot Flex-Feed® hopper.  An extension hopper may be added based on the application requirements or customer preference.

Our patented, simple design benefits from very few moving parts, provides quick access to common wear parts, limits breakdowns and can be disassembled in seconds!

Standard feeder design consists of multiple cabinet and chassis material options. The standard auger, feed tube and massaging paddles are constructed of 304 Stainless Steel.

They are designed to accurately and dependably accommodate a wide variety of common dry materials, from powders to pellets and feed rates of up to 900 cubic feet per hour. Typical applications provide approximately 2-4% accuracy given consistent material bulk density and flow characteristics.
