* The screw speed shown is the standard maximum Volumetric screw speed (100% of full speed). Higher maximum screw speeds are
possible. The Maximum Feed Rates are theoretical values based on a screw filling efficiency of 100% at the specified screw speed.
Ingredient flow characteristics determine the screw filling efficiency.
** The high screw speed is only available on ‘/1’ models.

Conversion of FW40/0Plus or FW40/1Plus to a Twin Screw Feeder

Designation
Twin Concave Screws and Tube
Max. Particle Size Tube ID
Twin Screw Insert
Easy Change Design Option for FW40Plus Feeders
FlexWall ® Plus feeders with a Swing Motor Mount have the feature of
optionally switching from a single screw to a twin screw mechanism. This
makes the feeder much more flexible when the ingredient being fed changes
and the wiping action of a concave screw is desirable (floodable or cohesive
ingredients). The twin screw drive gearbox is enclosed in the Insert housing!
Change-over only requires swinging the motor out of the way, removing the
single screw unit, replacing the screw tube and inserting the twin screw unit.
Notes: The Twin Concave Screws are only suitable for powders. Consult
factory before using the Twin Screw Insert in single screw feeders with the
high screw speed.

Removable with Ingredient still in the FlexWall ® Screw Trough!
FlexWall ® 40 Plus feeders are available with a special Easy Change design.
In this design, the outer housing, FlexWall ® screw trough, Screw and Tube
can be removed as a single assembly. This way, the ingredient being
fed can be changed quickly and without having to completely empty the
ingredient from the screw trough. Or, for applications that require the screw
trough, screw or tube to be cleaned, another assembly can be installed
virtually eliminating downtime during the cleaning procedure!
Change-over only requires releasing two latches at the back of the feeder.
The assembly is then slid forward, then up. The next FlexWall ® Screw
Trough, Screw and Tube assembly is then latched into place and the feeder
is ready to go!
Order Option ST-10.
