CF4.5 -- 4" and 5" Continuous Flow metering units

Continuous flow units meter ingredients by weight.  The ingredients are weighed as they move through a patented weighing auger.  Therefore accuracy is maintained even when ingredient density (test weight) changes.

A continuous flow mixing system consists of multiple units working together.  Each unit meters into a common collection auger.  A superb quality of mix is obtained because each ingredient is added to the other ingredients flowing through the collection auger.

These units are the key to the Feedpro™ family of continuous flow units.  They are used daily in hundreds of installations across the U.S. and Canada.

Capacity

These units are available in two basic sizes: 4" diameter weighing auger (CF4) and 5" diameter (CF5).  (See also CF8 heading for 8" diameter units).  Approximate flowrate ranges for the two sizes are as follows:

                                     CF4 flowrates            CF5 flowrates
Whole grains                   600 to 7500 lb/hr       1200 to 12000 lb/hr
Meal type ingredients       225 to 2700 lb/hr       500 to 7000 lb/hr

Special slow CF4 units can meter meal type ingredients as low as 140 lb/hr, and special fast CF4 units can meter up to 4000 lb/hr.
