Mobile flexible screw conveyor is dust-free

摘要

A mobile flexible screw conveyor, which has a multi-purpose hood and transfers material discharged from bulk bags and/or manually dumped from handheld sacks into elevated process eguipment or storage vessels dust-free, has been introduced by Flexicon.Mounted on a frame with locking castors for ease of movement, it is said to improve mobility and reduce cost byeliminating heavy frame parts often used to support bulk bags, relying instead on the user's forklift or plant hoist to suspend the bag above the unit during operation.An iris valve positioned atop the dust hood allows variable control of flow through the bulk bag spout. A bag support tray and hinged door allow the manual addition of minor ingredients from handheld sacks.
