Perfect fit for tight spaces

Bulk solids handling specialist, 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 reduced footprint enables the caster-mounted frame to manoeuvre 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.

Each unit is custom configured according to the discharge height, tiltdown height, discharge overhang and overall size parameters of the application.

The hopper, which is equipped with a hinged lid, feeds a flexible screw conveyor that transports bulk ingredients ranging from sub-micron powders to large pellets.
