Continuous Feeder Refill
Vac-U-Max Signature Series
vacuum conveying systems Bin Activators
(Series 1500 and 3500) provide
“discharge on demand” and “refi ll-
on-demand” solutions for volu-
metric and gravimetric feeders.
When a feeder reaches a low-level
signal, the discharge valve on the
vacuum receiver opens refi lling
the feeder in seconds, allowing
the feeder to operate in gravi-
metric mode as soon as possible.
The receivers have a charge of
material ready for discharge to

contacting auger housing. Seals are
located between product zone and
auger bearings. An air gap creates
a buffer zone to ensure material
doesn’t enter bearings and lubricant
doesn’t enter material. The feeder
auger is kept in suspension, which
ensures that auger thrust load is not
transferred to drive assembly. This
increases drive life. Shock absorb-
ing couplings are used to reduce the
start and stop shock.
