Mobile Sanitary IBC Unloading and Conveying System This materials-handling system from Flexicon transfers contamination-sensitive bulk solid materials, such as resins and additives, from rigid intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) to downstream processes, dust-free. The system’s fully removable, flexible screw is the only moving part contacting material and is driven by an electric motor positioned beyond the discharge point, preventing material contact with seals.
What’s new? The system, which Flexicon introduced in June.
Benefits Flexibility. The discharger frame is mounted on casters for in-plant mobility, while a hinged subframe supporting a surge hopper, flexible screw conveyor and support mast can pivot down for maneuvering through doorways and low-headroom areas. The mobile unit can be rolled to a cleaning station.
