Rethinking
Technology
Questioning current solutions. Trying out new perspectives. Looking
for new approaches. In the largest know-how network for extrusion
technology we think different to develop true innovations – for
clear competitive advantages in the production of high-quality
blown films, cast films, sheets, monofilaments, strapping tapes and
nonwovens.

Low-Cost Automation for Basic Loading Needs
New EZLoad Series single-tube loa-
ders from Conair offer processors sim-
ple, reliable, and low-cost solutions for
a range of everyday, point-to-point
material conveying and loading appli-
cations. Based on the proven design
of Conair’s popular Access series loa-
ders, EZLoad loaders offer the same
angled canister design and hinged fil-
ter lid that tilts back and locks to ena-
ble easy access for cleaning or filter
maintenance. The new EZLoad control
was specifically developed to serve loa-
ding applications where advanced
load-control features are not neces-
sary. There’s no programming required.
Once it is turned on, the EZLoad con-
trol manages load and dump times au-
tomatically. A standard reed switch
located on the base of the loader indi-
cates demand, while the EZLoad con-
trol automatically adjusts loading time
based on resin bulk density to ensure
complete hopper fill. The control also
features a horn to notify the operator
of a material-out situation. EZLoad Se-
ries loaders are available in two mo-
dels, with three vacuum motors
available to meet varied conveying di-
stance and throughput requirements.
Each top-mounted vacuum motor is
contained in a sound-dampening pla-
stic housing.
- The smaller EZLoad 2 loader featu-
res a 5/8-hp motor to provide thro-
ughputs up to 200 lbs/hr (90 kg/hr)
over distances up to 50 ft (15.2 m).
- The larger EZLoad 5 model can be
equipped with a 7/8-hp motor that
handles up to 500 lbs/hr. (227 kg/hr)
at distances up to 75 ft (22.9 m), or an

For direct feed applications, EZLoad loaders can also be equipped with optional hoppers
that mount directly to a machine throat. The EZLoad 2 can mount to glass hoppers in
three sizes (3 lb, 11 lb, or 21 lb) or to a 10-lb stainless-steel hopper, while the EZLoad
5 can be mated to 20 or 40 lb stainless-steel hoppers.
