AP Flex-Flo - Feeding Systems

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.

Flex-Flo Models

Both tubing and augers are available in a variety of models to fit your specific requirements. Whether its ground feed, mash, high moisture corn, shelled corn or pellets, AP has the combinations to handle it.

Quality Unloaders

Unloaders are available for Model 220, 300, 350, HR and 500 Flex-Flo™ or 4” and 6” rigid auger systems. Most unloaders are available in single or double outlet models, as well as “through” models for use in tandem tank systems.

Unloaders feature heavy duty ball bearing anchor & bearing assemblies to increase service life and reduce maintenance. All unloaders have a slide gate above the auger to shut feed off and a side inspection door.

Plastic Boots

AP offers straight drop, 30°, and double boot models. All are chemically blended with specially formulated ultraviolet inhibitors and impact modifiers to enhance durability. AP’s clear boot model provides an easy visual of bin feed levels.

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.

Precise Control

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.

Extension Units

For applications requiring distances over the maximum auger length for that size auger, extension hoppers are available to extend the overall length of the Flex-Flo system. Extension hoppers can be installed at 90° from the original auger to make turns and extend Flex-Flo Augers without using elbows.

Drop Tubes

AP’s original drop kit is available for all Flex-Flo Systems providing a totally enclosed outlet drop.

Kwik-Attach Drop Kit

The Kwik-Attach drop kit is easy to install and attaches securely to avoid feed spills. This kit allows for complete clean out of feed and can be adapted with actuators for remote operation.
