Flexicon tilt-down flexible screw conveyor

Wednesday, 13 February, 2013 | Supplied by: Flexicon Corporation (Australia) Pty Limited


The Sanitary Tilt-Down Flexible Screw Conveyor from Flexicon has a castor-mounted frame that can be manoeuvred through narrow aisles and around corners. With the hopper, support boom and conveyor assembly tilted down, the unit fits through standard doorways and orients the conveyor tube horizontally, allowing the flexible screw to be removed easily for thorough cleaning and inspection.

The conveyor’s surge hopper, which is configured for dust-tight connection to the outlet of upstream equipment, includes an air displacement vent with cartridge filter that is equipped with a reverse pulse cleaning system that dislodges accumulated dust with short bursts of compressed air, returning the dust to the hopper on a timed cycle, maintaining operating efficiency.

Material flows through the hopper into an adapter that charges the conveyor. The flexible screw is driven only at the discharge end and does not require any bearings or seals within the product contact area.

The conveyor transports bulk ingredients ranging from submicron powders to large pellets, while the gentle rolling action of material being conveyed prevents the separation of blends. The enclosed tube prevents product and plant contamination and permits thorough washdown.

The inner screw is the only moving part contacting material, and a broad range of specialised screws is available to handle free-flowing and non-free-flowing bulk materials, including products that pack, cake, smear, seize, plug or fluidise.

The mobile conveyor frame is constructed of stainless steel or in carbon steel with durable industrial coatings and can be finished to sanitary or industrial standards.
