MCF Feeder Operation
Automatic Speed Control
- Microprocessor detects and automatically adjusts for changing cycling times, varying torque requirements and / or fluctuations in plant voltage.
- Monitors screw return time to provide uniform dispensing and consistent color.
- Optional remote controller kit available (up to 20 ft, 6 m from processing machine).
Easy Clean Out and Material Changes
- Removable stainless steel hopper can be easily removed for color changes or clean out.
- No tools required, no pellets cross contamination.
- Stainless steel construction assures easy of cleanup.
5 Year Warranty
- Backed with 5 Year Warranty.
No Material Wastage
- Simple but effective side bar prevents pellets from spilling when hopper is removed.
- Bar slides forward when drive unit is engaged, allowing pellets to dispense properly.
