FW40/0Plus, FW40/1Plus Model Specifications Conversion of FW40/0Plus or FW40/1Plus to a Twin Screw Feeder TWIN SCREW AND TUBE SIZES AND FEED RATES Screw and Tube 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. mm (inch) mm (inch) RPM (Hz) 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. Max.

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. Consult factory for applications that require high speed twin screws but do not need agitation. 3/05 Supersedes 8/04 Page 2 of 5 Document: 2110-C30-1

The vent allows dusty air to escape during refill Vent (on Lid) and atmospheric air to enter during feeding. Brabender offers a vent filter for pellets or non-dusty ingredients. For powders, dust collector is by others. Outlet Standard is horizontal from screw tube, optional is vertical outlet. ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS Temperature Ambient Ingredient Operating: 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F), Storage: -40° to 40°C (-40° to 104°F) Continuous: 0° to 60°C (32° to 140°F), Intermittent: -20° to 60°C (-4° to 140°F) Humidity Ambient Ingredient 5% to 95% (no condensation) The ingredient flow characteristics may vary with excessive humidity. The feeder must be dry when feeding. Pressure Altitude Ingredient To 10,000 feet (3,048 m) The pressure inside the feeder should be the same as outside the feeder. Vibration Normal plant vibration does not affect performance.
