Mobile tilt-down flexible screw conveyor This flexible screw conveyor from Flexicon is easily transported between work sites and wash-down stations, and has a variety of screws appropriate for free- or non-free-flowing materials. It has a low-profile hopper with bag support tray, and a manual hydraulic jack for raising and lowering the conveyor assembly. Constructed of 16 stainless steel, it has a quick-release clean-out cap, allowing it to move corrosive materials and be washed down easily.
What’s new? A design change that puts the support boom parallel to and in contact with the conveyor tube.
Benefits Ease of mobility, positioning and cleaning. The conveyor’s tilt-down design makes moving it under doorways and mezzanines easier, and its low center of gravity maximizes stability. The tilt-down ability allows the discharge point to be positioned between process equipment inlets and overhead obstructions, and, when fully lowered, the clean-out cap conveyor discharge is easily reached from standing height, making cleaning and inspection tasks easier.
