AP Flex-Flo™ Feed Delivery Systems

Nothing beats AP's Flex-Flo™ feed delivery system in flexibility and adaptability.  Using PVC tubing as the carrier of feed not only provides flexibility in facility design, but reduces dust, provides protection against insect and rodent contamination, and reduces stressful operation noise.  AP's Flex-Flo™ delivery system adapts to a variety of configurations and capacities to meet today's demanding production requirements.

Durable PVC Tubing
AP’s polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing is extruded in our own facility, to exacting standards and under our own quality control. Blended PVC allows us to formulate the optimum compound for UV stabilization,
strength, and wear resistance.

Quality Auger
AP augers are coiled in-house from high tensile steel for consistent quality and strength. AP uses wire which is flattened prior to hardening which provides better resistance to distortion and an all around stronger product.

Around the Bend
For moving feed up in the air and around corners, AP Flex-Flo™ elbows are specially formed with increased wall thickness on the inside of the elbow for added strength and wear resistance.

SMARTflex Control Unit

Heavy Duty Metal Boot

Multiple outlet requirements canbe easily handled by our 22” (559mm) all metal boot. This boot, which can be fitted to any AP feed bin,will allow installation of up to four feed lines in several directions at once.

Maximum Run Timer

AP’s Maximum Run Timer prevents costly feed spills and auger wear by shutting down the feed line if the system operates longer than the programmed run time. The Maximum Run Timer can be easily adapted to any flexible auger system.

Universal Sensor
AP’s Universal Sensor adapts to 24-240 volts and can operate either normally open or normally closed. Insensitive to temperature or humidity, this sensor features easy push button, 1 sec. to 3 hr. on delay programming to prevent short cycling of the feed system.

Control Units
AP offers both drop tube and hopper level switches as automatic shut-off options. Both units are located at the last feeder in the line. Drop tube switches and hopper level controls are also available with an optional proximity style switch with time delay.

Power Units
The Flex-Flo™ auger is driven by a 1/3 to 1-1/2 hp, totally enclosed, fan cooled motor at a standard 358 RPM (other speeds available for special applications). Whether direct or belt driven, the drive system includes an easily accessible maintenance port, a safety back up switch and visible light warning of back ups in the feed line, and automatic thermal shut-off switch.
