Model170 Feeder Series

Model 170 Feeders are designed with a circular flat bottom feed chamber with
a non-converging inlet for receiving unrestricted product flow from a supply
hopper mounted directly above. Beneath the feed chamber, the metering
auger is located in a specially configured trough, offset to one side.
Within the feed chamber, a slow-speed horizontally rotating 'conditioning'
agitator ensures that the metering auger is effectively and efficiently 'filled'
with product for accurate and reliable metering, while simultaneously, assisting
downward product flow from within the feeder's supply hopper into the feed
chamber. Dead zones do not exist anywhere with the feed chamber and conse-
quently, product stagnation cannot occur anywhere within the feeder.
Certain Model 170 Feeders (the Models 170-1-2 and 170-2-2) are designed with
two independently driven metering augers to provide a very wide feed range
(excess of 100:1) without the need to change metering augers.
Model 170-00
Excluding the Model 170-MI-5, all other Model 170 Feeders have the unque ability
to 'self-empty' when permitted to feed until empty, or to be 'emptied rapidiy'
when such a need exists. Rapid emptying is accomplished by means of a novel
discharge port located in the flat bottom of the feed chamber.

Model 170-00 – Designed with a 9 inch diameter feed chamber and
a single, independently driven metering auger, this model feeder provides
an output capacity ranging from 0.0012 to 6 cubic feet per hour.

Model 170-0 – Designed with a 13 inch diameter feed chamber and
a single, independently driven metering auger, this model feeder provides
an output capacity ranging from 0.0076 to 19 cubic feet per hour.
Model 170-1 – Designed with an 18 inch diameter feed chamber and
a single, independently driven metering auger, this model feeder provides
an output capacity ranging from 0.084 to 51 cubic feet per hour.

Model 170-1-2 – Designed with an 18 diameter feed chamber and
two independently driven metering augers, this model feeder provides a
very wide feed range (utilizing the combined overlapping output ranges
of two metering augers), and an overall output capacity ranging from
0.084 to 40 cubic feet per hour.

Model 170-2 – Designed with a 24 inch diameter feed chamber and
Model 170-1-2
a single, independently driven metering auger, this model feeder provides
an output capacity ranging from 0.28 to 118 cubic feet per hour.
Model 170-2-2 – Designed with a 24 inch diameter feed chamber and
two independently driven metering augers, this model feeder provides a
very wide feed range (utilizing the combined overlapping output ranges
of two metering augers), and an overall output capacity ranging from 0.28
to 118 cubic feet per hour.

Model 170-3 – Designed with a 30 inch diameter feed chamber and
a single, independently driven metering auger, this model feeder provides • •
an output capacity ranging from 0.38 to 240 cubic feet per hour.
Model 170-4 – Designed with a 36 inch diameter feed chamber and
a single, independently driven metering auger, this model feeder provides
