Spiralfeeder Flexible screw conveyors in the Spiralfeeder line from Automated Flexible Conveyor are used to automatically transfer powders, pellets, granules, flakes and other dry bulk materials into overhead surge hoppers, mixers, reactors, presses and other types of process equipment. The quiet units feature a rotating screw auger inside a tube and come with factory-engineered, prewired controls tailored to each application; they also can be interlocked with a wide variety of controls to automate processing.
What’s new? The latest model, which has a feed inlet that is 30 percent larger and has more clearance under the hopper. It is available in five standard sizes, as well as custom sizes. Optional equipment includes casters for mobility and an agitator or vibrator for enhanced material flow.
Benefits Fast, efficient transport of flow-resistant, semi-free-flowing and other challenging materials without clogging or bridging. The increased clearance under the hopper makes it easier to empty it. The low-maintenance conveyors also are dust-tight and easy to clean.
