New from Flexicon is a Sanitary Flexible Screw Conveyor that can be tilted down and rolled to serve multiple functions. Using a manual jackscrew, the support boom and conveyor can be raised for discharging into vessels or other process equipment. Fully lowered, it can be rolled through doorways as low as 2134 millimetres in height, and aisles as narrow as 1067 millimetres. Sanitary features include: a castor-mounted frame, support boom and hopper grate constructed of 316 stainless steel, sanitary quick-release clean out cap, quick-disconnect discharge box access cover, stainless control panel with stainless conduit, and liquid-tight compression fittings, allowing wash down during changeovers and/or conveying of corrosive materials. The conveyor transports bulk materials from sub-micron powders to large pellets, while the gentle rolling action of material prevents the separation of blends. The conveyor frame can be finished to sanitary of industrial standards, or constructed of carbon steel with durable industrial coatings. For more information, visit: www.flexicon.com.au
