Flexible Screw Conveyors – Cost Effective Versatile Conveying, SPIRA-FLOW™ Vibrating Spiral Elevator, When to Convey Mechanically and When to Convey Pneumatically?, and Low-Profile Flexible Screw Conveyor Rolls Under Mezzanines, Discharges Anywhere.
Flexible Screw Conveyors (FSCs) earn their name. These machines can convey material in any direction from horizontal to vertical. They can be routed around fixed objects and from room to room providing maximum versatility.
The SPIRA-FLOW™ Vibrating Spiral Elevator takes your process to new levels. Whether you are trying to save space or continue your process onto another floor, these Vibrating Spiral Elevators elevate or lower your material with a smooth motion for a variety of different powders, products and materials.
While pneumatic conveying is by far the most hygienic conveying method for dry bulk powders, there are instances where mechanical conveying may be a better choice: processing facilities with nominal head room above equipment; a need for high speed transfer with minimal energy consumption; and transferring friable materials.
A new Low Profile Flexible Screw Conveyor with integral bin and caster-mounted frame can roll below mezzanines and other low-headroom areas, receive material from overhead equipment, and discharge the material into process equipment and vessels throughout the plant.
Powderflight aeromechanical conveyors from UniTrak are designed for high throughput of powders, granules, pellets, or flakes at rates up to 0.7 m3 / 24 cu ft per minute. Continue reading »
