Pellet & Regrind Loaders

Vacuum loaders transfer pellets and regrind from one or more sources (usually a Gaylord) to a single destination (usually a blender, drying hopper or machine throat).

Hopper mount models (typically have capacities that range from 1/8 through 1 cu. ft.)

Machine mount models typically range from 1/8 through 1 cu. ft.

Options for abrasive or hot materials ( over 250° F.) are available.

There are several variations on loader design:

• Conventional dump throat
• Flat bottom with internal dump throat
• Internal filter screen to collect dust & fines
• Filter-less design
• Receivers may be stainless steel, carbon steel or aluminum
• Exterior surface may be painted or brushed – even electro-polished

Some features to look for include:

• Stainless steel body – wears longer
• Modular design – for easy access and cleanout
• Tangential Material Inlet Deflector/Flapper

Provides cyclonic air/material separation which minimizes material degradation

• Deflector flapper w/ gasket – ensures that blowback does not travel down material line
• Gasket on dump throat - maintains seal for high vacuum level
• ‘No-load’ alarm and silencer button – warns of empty material source
• Automatic pulsed blowback – to reduce frequency of manual cleaning
• Machine mount models should have level sensor – to avoid over loading

Typical accessories include:

• External proportioning valve & control– for layering virgin/regrind materials

Typical Option:

• Brushless motor – to reduce maintenance
