Base model flexible screw conveyor

Round, square, flat or bevelled flexible screws in any length, from 3 to 12 metres, are offered to convey virtually any free- and non-free-flowing bulk material, including products that pack, cake, seize, smear or break apart.

According to the company, the only moving part contacting material is the inner screw, which self-centres as it rotates, providing ample space between the screw and tube wall to minimise or eliminate grinding. It adds that the lower end of the screw requires no bearing, while the upper end is driven beyond the point of discharge, preventing material contact with bearings or seals.

Fully enclosed, the conveyor tube is said to prevent product and plant contamination, while the gentle rolling action imparted by the screw prevents the separation of blends. Model 1450 is available with an optional start-stop control panel and a range of flow-promotion devices.

Flexicon also manufactures other flexible screw conveyors, as well as pneumatic conveying systems, tubular cable conveyors, bulk bag dischargers, conditioners and fillers, manual dumping staions, drum/box/container tippers, weigh batching systems and automated plant-wide systems that can be integrated with new or existing process equipment.
