Tilt-down base

Flexicon (Europe) has introduced a new bulk conveyor with tilt-down portable base to fit through tight spaces and provide easy access for removal of the flexible screw.

The caster-mounted frame can be manoeuvred in narrow aisles and around corners.With hopper, support boom and conveyor assembly tilted down, the unit fits through standard doorways and orients the conveyor tube horizontally, so the flexible screw can be removed easily for thorough cleaning and inspection.

Each unit is custom-configured according to the discharge height, tilt-down height, discharge overhang and size of the application. A hingedlid hopper feeds a flexible screw conveyor that transports items from sub-micron powders to large pellets.
