KEY I N N OVATION : PATENTED A DVA NCED FILL ING CON TROL (A FC)

NEW PRECONDITIONER The AFC is an exclusive conveying screw device that is positioned at the bottom of the tank.
In production mode the screw rotates continuously against the main flow of the product enabling recycling of the
material from the outlet to the entry point.

Improved Efficiency
The Preconditioner+ offers major technological advances that are designed to increase the capacity
of existing twin and single screw extruders and respond to process requirements:
• Increased process flexibility : residence time adjustment (AFC)
• Improved efficiency : higher temperature and improved precooking (gelatinization)
• Easy cleaning & maintenance : robust construction with easy access, hygienic design

The Preconditioner+ is equipped with two horizontal intermeshing shafts that operate in
counter-rotating motion to efficiently blend the raw materials. The action of the shafts is augmented Product Continuous recycling back flow
