FlexWall®Plus FW80/1 Volumetric and Gravimetric General Information The FlexWall®Plus FW80/1 feeder is ideal for free flowing bulk ingredients. The feeder has the following main components: a stainless steel trapezoidal housing, flexible polyurethane trough with a large trough cross-section, a feed screw, a screw tube, 3 phase motor and a trapezoidal extension hopper with volumes of 100 dm³(3.53 cuft) or 200 dm³ (7.06 cuft). The shape of the trough provides consistent screw filling and mass flow without ingredient deterioration. The FW80/1 features a hinged motor for screw change from the rear. The FlexWall®Plus is easily disassembled for wet or dry cleaning as the polyurethane hopper that is attached to the housing is easily removed. Moreover, the compact trapezoidal shape allows up to 6 feeders to be arranged around a central feed point. Service can be from the front or back. The gravimetric version includes the analog weighing system MS6, or the digital weighing system MD6 (for highest measurement accuracy), featuring a high resolution robust digital load cell with serial data transmission and advanced filtering technology. The unit conforms to CE directives. Model Specification Screw drive Drive power Screw speed Screw speed optional Massage paddles Separate paddle drive Control modules Control and speed modules are offered either mounted onto the feeder (Congrav® CM-E) or are available for mounting in a separate control panel (Congrav® CB-E or Congrav® CB-S ). Controls can communicate directly to most host/ PLC systems or to Brabender Technologie Congrav® Operator Interfaces.

FlexWall®Plus FW80/1 Volumetric and Gravimetric Available Screw Sizes and Feed Rates Screw type Tube designation Spiral screw (S) for granules Max. feed rate* [cuft/hr] Blade Screw (B) Stainless Steel Blade Screw (B) Polyurethan * Theoretical values at 100% screw filling level and motor speed. Depending on the flow characteristics the screw filling level may decrease to 50%. Further limitations have to be considered for gravimetric feeding, as max. speed should be reduced to allow for bulk density variations. **alternatively also available as stainless steel version How to read the table of screws...
