BETHLEHEM, Pa.—Flexicon Corp. has released a new low profile flexible screw conveyor with an integral bin and caster-mounted frame that can roll below mezzanines and other low-headroom areas, receive material from overhead equipment and discharge the material into process equipment and vessels throughout the plant.
The firm said its product is ready to plug-in and run as it includes a push type drive system positioned at the lower intake end of the conveyor. This reduces overall height by 2 feet compared to a pull type system.
A specialized Bev-Con screw within the straight conveyor tube is engineered to move a range of difficult-to-convey bulk materials that tend to cake, pack, smear or plug, as well as fragile products prone to breakage, with no separation of blends.
