Right: Conair has developed the PM Powder Loader for improved


operation with dusty material


is an effective way to convey powder. The latest single material loader from


Wittmann is the Feedmax S3 net, which has a powerful collector motor and is designed for a throughput of up to 150 kg/hr. The company says this unit offers trouble-free conveying of synthetic granules and any sort of regrind to dryers, dosing devices and processing machines. For the first time, the loader deploys a second filter, which is intended to prevent the motor from getting dusty in case the main filter is not correctly re-installed after being cleaned. The Feedmax S3 net can now control several loaders using only one touchscreen remote control. The control display includes a status indicator and enables the setting of conveying times, dosing proportions and dedusting cycles for up to six units. Wittmann says that a characteristic of


the Feedmax S3 net is the ambiLED allround visible status display. This feature allows the


status of the unit to be seen from any point of view in the production hall, alerting the user to a lack of material within the conveying process. Through this visual management, machine downtime or loss of production can be easily avoided, the company says. The company has also simplified cleaning of the loader. To clean


the filter of the Feedmax S3 net it is only necessary to manually loosen the self- securing fixture to open the lid.
