Product catalog summary
Technical Specifications
The AF Series Volumetric Additive Feeders are renowned for their accuracy and reliability in metering color concentrate, regrind, and other additives. Key mechanical features include a modular design for handling one or two materials, a low-profile throat section, and an easy-to-clean, interchangeable stainless steel auger assembly. These feeders ensure a consistent and uniform blend of materials by metering additives directly into the flow of primary materials.

Standard Features
  • Push-button digital control display
  • Aluminum additive supply hopper with sight glasses and manual fill cover (SF-1)
  • Swing-out sample and clean-out door (SF-1)
  • 6” high modular steel base with 7” square flange and sight glasses (SF-1)
  • 1/10 HP DC variable speed drive motor (2 to 71 RPM) with quick change hinged mounting (SF-1)
  • Stainless steel auger with UHMW polyethylene insert and bearing (SF-1)
  • 115/1/60 supply voltage

Optional Features
  • Removable 0.3 ft³ additive supply hopper with slide gate and sight glass (SF-1, SF-2)
  • 2.0 cu. ft. additive supply hopper (SF-1)
  • Flange transition: 7” square to 4” square
  • 8” high modular base for machine hoppers with less than a 60º cone
  • Extruder tracking control with optical speed sensor
  • Injection Calibration timer with cycle counter
  • 230/1/50-60 supply voltage
  • Regrind Auger Insert

Specifications
The AF-200 model offers a high-performance variable speed drive package, including a heavy-duty ICS34 gearbox and a 1/4 HP AC inverter-duty motor. This setup allows for precise control and a wide metering range, with maximum throughput rates of up to 6550 lbs./hr for a 3” auger.

Product Diagrams and Throughput Rates
The document includes diagrams and detailed throughput rates for various models and auger sizes. For example, the AF-200 model with a 1.625” auger can achieve a maximum throughput of 1450 lbs./hr, while a 3” auger can reach up to 6550 lbs./hr, assuming the use of color concentrate pellets at 45 lbs./cu. ft.

AF Volumetric Additive Feeders-1

Material Handling | Process Cooling | Temperature Control | Size Reduction Volumetric Addtive Feeders Technical Specifications AF Series Volumetric Additive Feeders have set the industry standard for accuracy and dependability in precision metering of color concentrate, regrind, and other additives. Proven mechanical features include modular design for one or two materials, low-profile throat section, and an easy-to-clean, interchangeable stainless steel auger assembly. With a constant flow of primary materials flowing into a machine feed throat, the SF Series feeder meters a free-flowing additive directly into the center of this flow in a consistent and uniform pattern, resulting is a perfect blend of materials. And, while the AF Series Feeder is designed to be used in virtually any injection or extrusion process, the AF-1 and AF-200 can also be used to starve feed an extruder. All of this makes the AF Series Feeder a superb value for your money. Features Standard Features Optional Features • Push-button digital control display • Aluminum additive supply hopper with 2 sight glasses and manual fill cover (SF-1) • Swing-out sample and clean-out door (SF-1) • 6” high modular steel base with 7” square flange and sight glasses (SF-1) • 1/10 HP DC variable speed drive motor (2 to 71 RPM) with quick change hinged mounting (SF-1) • Removable 0.3 ft 3 additive supply hopper, including slide gate and sight glass with hand fill cover (SF-1, SF-2) • Stainless steel auger with UHMW polyethylene insert and bearing (SF-1) • 2.0 cu. ft. additive supply hopper (SF-1) • 8” high modular base - required for machine hoppers with less than a 60º cone • Flange transition: 7” square to 4” square • Extruder tracking control; includes customer mountable 0 to 5 VDC optical speed sensor • Injection Calibration timer with cycle counter • 230/1/50-60 supply voltage • Regrind Auger Insert 2900 South 160th Street, New Berlin, WI 53151 | P: 1.262.641.8600 E: info@a
