Schenck Process introduces ProFlex® C100

With ProFlex® C 500, 3000 and 6000, Schenck Process already offers three feeder sizes with a total of five extension hoppers. Now Schenck Process adds to their offering:

• Makes the customer flexible: A quick change hopper option in the ProFlex® line for fast and clean change over without disassembling of the feed screw. By keeping several hoppers including screw in stock, a wide range of additives and color pigments can be provided for in a highly flexible manner.

• Ready for sticky powders: The asymmetric design prevents bridging and plugging of sticky material.

• As quick as the customer: The new ProFlex® C100 is equipped with an integrated gearbox for turndown ratios of up to 1:120.

• Accuracy ensured: Flexible wall liner massaged at eight points, which allows a constant and accurate filling of the screw feed element.

• Prepared for the US market: It is NEMA drive ready for compounding and masterbatch, which is crucial for the US market.
