Fluff Feed Hoppers

Scrap Reclaim

Request Info / Quote

The unique dual-stage design ensures that the fluff is mixed with the virgin material above the extruder throat. Each auger is independantly adjustable and can be set to follow the extruder screw speed by monitoring a tachometer signal from the extruder.

There are three different models of fluff feed hoppers. The MTE unit is designed to re-feed edge trim only. The MTFH handles up to 30% of the edge trim and/or scrap. Finally the MTFH-HPis designed for those applications where scrap re-feed greater than 30% is common.

• Patented dual-stage fluff feeder assembly.
• Metering and mixing is slaved tot he extruder via signal isolation circuitry.
• Independantly adjustable horizontal and vertical drives precisely control fluff metering and homogenous mixing of the pellet/fluff mixture at the extruder throat.
• Exclusive vertical auger design provides thorough mixing to assure constant extruder screw pressure and improved gauge control, resulting in better production.
• TE units equipped with DC motors.
• TFH units rquipped with inverter duty AC motors and ammeters.
