The SMARTflex Flex-Flo Control Unit from AP incorporates all of the timers switches and sensors required to efficiently and effectively operate your feed delivery system in one compact pre-wired unit.

The Maximum Run Timer prevents costly feed spills and auger wear by shutting down the feed system if it operates longer than the programmed run time.

The Cumulative Run Timer provides a management tool by recording and displaying the auger run time to give an indication of the feed consumption.

The On Delay Timer delays the start of the feed system to prevent the Flex-Flo system from short cycling causing excessive motor wear.

The pre-wired and pre-mounted Proximity Sensor has six programmable sensitivity settings to adapt to a variety of applications and feed types.

A large Digital Display with LEDs indicate the status of the Flex-Flo system and displays the alarm codes.

A simple Push Button Interface is used to program and clear the timers and re-set the alarms.

An Audible Alarm sounds if the Flex-Flo System is shut down as a result of the maximum run time being exceeded or if the control unit becomes plugged with feed.

A separate Sealed Plastic Enclosure is provided to house the feed system relay and provide ample room for electrical connections.

The Heavy Duty Discharge Funnel molded from high­impact polypropylene features an oversized outlet to prevent feed bridging.

A Retrofit Kit is available to update your existing AP Flex-Flo or other flexible auger feed delivery system to a SMARTflex.

UNIVERSAL SENSOR

AP's Universal Sensor is truly universal, it adapts to control voltages from 24 to 240 volts and can operate either normally open or normally closed. This switch utilizes technology that is not sensitive to changes in temperature or humidity eliminating the need for a sensitivity adjustment. The convenient push button interface allows you to quickly and precisely program an on delay from one second to three hours to prevent short cycling of the feed system. LEOs indicate the status of the switch at all times.

The Universal Sensor is available pre-mounted and pre-wired in the Flex-Flo control unit. This control unit features an oversized outlet to prevent feed bridging.

PRECISE CONTROLS

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.

KWIK-ATTACH DROP KIT

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

MAXIMUM RUN TIMER

AP's Maximum Run Timer prevents costly feed spills and auger wear by shutting down the feed line if the system operates longer than the pro­grammed run time. An indicator light alerts you to why the system was shut down. The reset button allows the auger to be restarted after the problem has been corrected. This run timer can be easily adapted to any flexible auger system.

Flex-Flo™ Specifications

Nothing beats AP's Flex-Flo™ feed delivery system in flexibility and adaptability. Using PVC tubing as the carrier of feed not only provides flexibility in facility design, but reduces dust, provides protection against insect and rodent contamination, and reduces stressful operation noise.

Wear Resistant Elbows
For moving feed up in the air and around corners, Flex-Flo™ tubing is available in specially formed elbows with increased wall thickness on the elbow for strength and wear resistance.

Flex-Flo™ Models
Both tubing and augers are available in a variety of models. Whether its ground feed, crumble feed, mash, high moistures corn, shelled corn or pellets, AP has the transport system to fit your needs. For corn up to 27% moisture and other hard to flow materials, the Flex-Flo™ High Roughage system utilizes a combination of a Model 300 (75mm) auger in a Model 350 (90mm) tube. For pelleted feeds, a specially designed auger is available for Model 300 Flex-Flo™, which increases the tolerance between the tube wall and auger. This increased tolerance prevents auger plugging and damage to expensive pelleted feeds.

Belt Drive Unit
As with the direct drive unit, AP's belt drive unit features an easy to access maintenance port and automatic overheat shutoff in the event of feed backup in the line.

Special Blend
AP's polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubing is extruded and formed 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 ... and AP uses wire which is flattened prior to hardening, providing for a more consistent, high quality product.
