How the EX (support frame for external hopper loader) works

The function of the support frame is to use an alternate hopper

loader in combination with the TrueFeed. The support frame is

equipped with a knife gate valve for filling the hopper. The valve

is normally-closed. If the filling start level is reached

(default 1.7 lb {800 g}) the valve opens and the hopper is filled until

the EX-H level (default 5.5 lb {2500 g}). The valve will then close

automatically. The support frame works independently from the

hopper loader. If for some reason the hopper weight reaches the

EX-HH level a warning will be displayed. This can happen if the

valve does not close, for example.

Contact Conair for appropriate loader sizing to your surge hopper.

Do not remove the dispensing unit, surge bin, loader or

feeder hopper before the compressed air of the

knife gate valve has been disconnected and

the “Stop” button has been pressed. The knife

gate can still energize causing serious

personal injury.

 It will be necessary to use a customer specific

surge hopper between the hopper loader and the

support frame for proper mounting.
