Plastiloader
The Plasticolor Hopper Loader automatically transfers material from a container into hopper of a Plasticolor feeder, eliminating the manual labor associated with keeping the hopper full of material to be fed.
The Plasticolor Loader is available installed on new Plasticolor Feeders, or as a kit for installation on existing Plasticolor Feeders or hoppers of other manufacturers.
How it works: The material transfer wand uses compressed air to generate a powerful vacuum that lifts material from a bulk container and transfers it to feeder hopper through a material transfer hose. The hopper-mounted loader uses a "cyclone" effect to separate the transferred material from the air stream, and deposit the material into the hopper. An automotive type air filter on the loader stops air-born dust from entering the plant. High/low level sensor in the hopper tell the Controller when to load material ... starting the feeder when material reaches the low level sensor, and stopping the loader when the hopper is full.
A combination of features that make the Plasticolor Hopper Loader unique
The high efficiency material transfer wand works well at air supply pressures as low as 40 psi.
The high/low level sensors in the hopper provide a positive control of the material loading cycle ... always maintaining a safe level of material in the hopper. This dual level sensor approach eliminates the need for additional timers, or complex calibration procedures associated with a "single sensor" loader control approach.
Unique "Clamp Ring" mounting of the hopper mounted loader allows the material inlet tube tpo be rotated 360, for desired inlet direction. Low profile design only adds 5 1/2" to the hopper height, for those "tight fit" applications. Universal mounting design can be used on almost any hopper.

Quick Drain
QUICK DRAIN. Quick drain will allow you to drain the Plasticolor hopper with minimal material loss and it facilitates fast material and screw changes. The Quick drain tube has a O.D of 2.5” so it can easily be extended using standard flexible tubing.
The Quick drain slide gate assembly fits all Plasticolor 2000 and 3000.
