FlexWall® FW155/0 -(MS) Volumetric and Gravimetric General Information The FlexWall® FW155/0 feeder is ideal for poor or difficult flowing bulk ingredients. The feeder has the following main components: a stainless steel rectangular housing, a flexible polyurethane trough with a large cross-section, external massage paddles, a screw, a screw tube, a 3 phase motor and an extension hopper with volumes of 600 dm³ (21.19 cuft) or 1000 dm³ (35.31 cuft). The shape of the trough and the external adjustable amplitude massage paddles work together to provide consistent screw filling and mass flow without ingredient deterioration. Screw removal of the FW155/0 is from the front of the feeder. The FlexWall® FW1550/ is easily disassembled for wet or dry cleaning as the polyurethane trough that is attached to the housing is easily removed. The weighing system MS is available as gravimetric version with four highresolution load cells with advanced filtering technology. The unit conforms to CE directives. Model Specification Screw drive Drive power Screw speed 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® FW155/0 -(MS) Volumetric and Gravimetric Screw Sizes and Feed Rates Screw type Tube designation Max. feed rate * [cuft/h] Spiral Screw (S) for granules (TA= with trough activation) * 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.
