POWDER HANDLING & PROCESSING SYSTEMS for dry bulk solids and ingredients

FLEXIBLE SCREW CONVEYORS for dry bulk solids and ingredients Internationally recognised as the leading name in the design and manufacture of flexible screw systems, Spiroflow has been serving industries handling the widest range of dry bulk solids and ingredients for over 35 years! “Our ability to fully understand our customers' needs, design a customised solution for their process and to provide the best technical expertise with which to support them before and after the sale has been our ethos since inception” Michel Podevyn - Founder. Typical applications Feeding filling machinery....

The simplicity of the Spiroflow conveying system makes cleaning a simple operation. Conveyors can be emptied of residual material by reversing the motor and then dry cleaned by brushing or, if necessary, flushed through with water or cleaning solution. Optional, interlocked, quick release connectors facilitate rapid dismantling and reassembly where dry cleaning of the spiral, tube and end connections is essential. • Gentle handling The rotating spiral is centralised in the tube by the product and, as a result, there is little to no product degradation. Spiral type and speed are...

FLEXIBILITY by design Materials testing Our in-plant testing facility can quickly evaluate the flow characteristics of any kind of material from samples supplied by the customer. To back up this service, we have, over many years, built a large database of the flow properties of hundreds of materials, giving ready information on the solutions to many conveying problems. Just a small sample can help us to take the guesswork out of predicting conveyor performance. Where products have poor flow properties, such as light, high fat or cohesive powders, these can be overcome with the addition of...

APPLICATIONS in many industries ‘Spiroflow’ conveyors are installed world-wide in a multitude of industries because of their versatility and ability to take a wide range of particle size, bulk density and flow properties in their stride. Water Treatment Hygienic ingredients handling is the fundamental benefit of ‘Spiroflow’ equipment, designed to satisfy the stringent demands of the food and allied industries. Spiroflow assists in the protection of the environment by supplying efficient dosing equipment for hydrated lime, activated carbon and other chemicals used in water treatment....

INTEGRATED HANDLING EQUIPMENT Spiroflow offers a comprehensive range of related bulk solids and ingredients handling equipment which is usually integrated with our flexible screw conveyors. Mobile conveyors For added versatility, mobile conveyors are available mounted on robust, movable frames with integral feed hopper. Easy to move and simple to operate, they are ideal for the intermittent feeding of several process machines. Additionally, they are easy to remove from the process area for cleaning elsewhere. Bulk Bag dischargers Spiroflow provides a full range of equipment for the...

Flexible screw basics Spiral profiles For most applications, the standard round spiral is suitable, combining strength and flexibility. Flat section spirals are recommended for certain light or aerated products. The Proscrew bevelled profile is used for conveying difficult materials such as iron oxide. Semi-rigid construction enables steep conveying angles to be achieved without bends. [1 Electric motor: 3 phase, 50/60hz, voltage as specified. Special motors also available to your specification. Fixed or variable speed. 3 Motor adaptor and spiral connector in mild steel or stainless...
