Model 170 Series Dry Solids Volumetric Feeders…
with Self-Emptying Metering Mechanism

Overview

Acrison’s  Model 170 Series Volumetric Feeders are the first range of feeders specifically designed for complete and total product cleanout without the need for disassembly or mechanical changes.  These feeders “self-empty” and also feature an innovative discharge port for rapid material emptying when needed—making them ideal for applications where rapid product changeover or near-zero downtime is critical.

Features/Benefits
	Uniquely Configured Auger/Agitator Metering Mechanism – that completely fills the metering auger with product of a consistent state. The feeder has only 2 moving parts, typically a constant speed gearmotor for the slow speed agitator and a variable speed AC or DC drive for the metering auger.
	Circular Wide-Throat, Flat Bottom Feed Chamber with slowly rotating horizontal Agitator – ensures positive flow of product out of the supply hopper directly into the feed chamber.
	Novel Discharge Purge Port – located in the flat bottom of the feed chamber that allows the feeder to be “emptied quickly” when required.
	All Steel Construction – provides long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements.
	Total Product Cleanout Design – eliminates “dead zones” and allows feeder to feed until completely empty.
	Range of Model Sizes – cover feed rates from 0.12 to 240 cubic feet per hour.
