The ACS "AF" feeders offer trouble-free service when handling most types of dry bulk materials (including difficult materials such as sugar). High pressure filtered air enters the hollow end bells on both ends and then enters the feeder from both sides near the feeder pockets where the product is discharged. This double inlet action of air helps to thoroughly mix the product with the conveying air and sweeps each pocket clean as it reaches the discharge point. This action increases the volumetric efficiency of the feeder.
The high pressure air in the hollow end bells keeps the product from coming in contact with the shaft bearings of the feeder, for smoother operation and less maintenance.
Standard construction is all cast iron with fabricated mild steel 10-blade rotor. Blades can be furnished with special tipping materials or bevelled tips. Valves can be also furnished in stainless steel. Air relief vent is standard.
