Flexicon is a world leader in the design and manufacture of bulk handling equipment and custom-engineered and integrat- ed plant-wide systems that trans-port, discharge, fill, weigh, blend,deliver and/or feed a broad range of powder and bulk solidmaterials. Flexicon products range from individual equipment to automated systems that source bulk material from interior and exterior plant locations, transport it between process equipment and storage vessels, weigh it, blend it, feed it to packaging lines, extruders, moulding machines and storage vessels, and load it into railcars and trailers....

You can alleviate the burden and risk of designing your system, coordinating multiple suppliers, integrating compo- nents, trouble-shooting start-up and assuming responsibility for system performance, by relying on Flexicon for it all.Flexicon can evaluate your bulk material(s), plant layout, throughput rates, residual product limitations, cleanliness, noise limitations, access, cost, cycle times and other parame- ters, and outline the solution to your bulk handling problem.Because Flexicon offers a widerange of equipment, including mechanical and pneumatic con- veyors, as well as systems...

High reliability,low maintenance Economical to purchase,install and operate Volumetric feeding conveyors Flexible screw pioneer Fast, thorough cleaning Perhaps no other manufacturerhas advanced the application of the flexible screw conveyor as far and as fast as Flexicon the first to introduce 115 mm, 150 mm, and 200 mm diameter screw/tube combinations that elevated the capacity of this category of conveyor more than 10-fold in an 8-year period. After more than 10,000 installationsworldwide involving a gamut ofbulk materials, Flexicon has amassed a wealth of perform- ance data on flexible...

Mobile and custom configurations Multiple discharge point systems All Flexicon flexible screw conveyors are available on castor-mounted frames with conveyor support masts for in-plant mobility, reducing the need for multiple stationary units.Both mobile and stationary units are readily customised using interchangeable screws, conveyor tubes, motor drives, hoppers, flow-promotion devices, sensors, controllers, and other components to satisfy the most diverse and demanding end- use requirements. Horizontally-oriented Flexiconflexible screw conveyors can feed multiple packaging machines,...

Versatile configurations conform to your application > BEV-CON BEV-CONٙ flexible screw conveyors from Flexicon handle powder and bulk solids including materials that tend to pack, cake, smear, plug, fluidise or separate.BEV-CON > TM units have a straightconveyor tube which is generally supported by attaching the drive/ discharge end to an over-headjoist, tank rim or any other solidstructure.The conveyor tube may be routed through small openings in walls or ceilings. BEV-CON > Moist, sticky materialsFriable materials TM conveyors are alsohighly effective for handling fragile or brittle...

Vacuum systems Vacuum dilute phase pneumaticconveying systems are generally employed for transporting mate- rial from multiple sources such as storage vessels, process equipment, trucks and rail cars, to individual or multiple destina- tions. Unlike positive pressure systems, vacuum systems allow easy pick-up of materials from open containers using wands, and do not impart heat to the material. Since vacuum systems offer superior leak containment, they are often specified on the basis of cleanliness, particu- larly when handling hazardousmaterials.Negative pressure is created by a positive...

Wide capacity range With a Flexicon pneumatic con-veyor, capacity can range from several kilograms to tens of tonnes per hour, feeding any des- tination from small packaging lines to silos and railcars. Moreover, excessive fluctuationsin the feed rateresulting inoverloading or underloadingח will not damage the system. Diversity of products handled by one conveyor Powders having wide rangingbulk densities, as well as flakes, pellets, capsules, tablets and other friable materials, can behandled by a single Flexiconpneumatic conveyor, providing the flexibility needed to transport multiple...

Filter Receivers(Pressure and vacuum systems) Rotary Airlock Valves with Flow- Through Pick-Up Adapters (Pressure and vacuum systems) Rotary airlock valves with flow-through pick-up adapters can be utilised in pressure and vacuum systems for both controlled meter- ing of material into the conveying system, and maintaining the pressure differential between the conveying system and ambient atmosphere. Flexicon filter receivers separatesolids from the air stream using filter media and gravity, and are generally specified when materials contain smaller particles that are prone to dusting and/or...

Mobile and custom configurations Self-contained Flexicon pneumatic conveying systems complete with feed hopper and/or pick-up wand, blower unit, filter receiver and control package, are available pre-engineered and configured on castor-mounted frames for in-plant mobility. Designed, constructed andfinished to industrial, food, dairy and pharmaceutical standards Flexicon pneumatic conveyingsystems are available in carbon steel with durable industrial finishes, or stainless steel finished to standards required for industrial, food, dairy andpharmaceutical applications.
