Flexicon FLEXI-DISC sanitary tubular cable conveyor

The FLEXI-DISC sanitary tubular cable conveyor, for fragile bulk foods and non-foods, allows rapid washdown of the system between production runs.

The sanitary conveyor moves bulk material using high-strength, one-piece polymer discs - affixed to polymer-coated 304 or 316 stainless steel cable - that slide within smooth stainless steel tubing, moving fragile products gently, quietly and dust-free.

The discs evacuate the conveyor tubing of material at the conclusion of a conveying cycle, virtually eliminating wasted product. Any material clinging to the cable and disc assembly can be continually removed during operation by the stiff bristles of a brush box or by a residual return chute equipped with a disc ramp that dislodges material and returns it to the product stream.

All material outlets, inlets and tubing are made of 304 or 316 stainless steel, with quick-disconnect covers and continuous welds ground smooth and flush with contiguous polished walls.

Wet or dry cleaning accessories can be quickly attached to the FLEXI-DISC cable to allow rapid, thorough sanitising of the system, minimising downtime between changeovers. Optional clean-in-place systems provide automated sanitising of the system and clear inspection tubing can be located in any straight run.

Modular system components - including 304 or 316 stainless steel tubing, drive wheel housings, tension wheel housings, metered and non-metered inlets and discharges with and without valves - can be combined in unlimited configurations to move materials horizontally, vertically or at any angle through small holes in walls or ceilings.
