Bulk Solid Material Handling Equipment & Systems
We are the flexible solution to Africa’s bulk solid material handling needs.
Bulk Material Handling Solutions
Flexicon provides bulk material handling solutions that help processors balance efficiency with safety when moving materials throughout a plant. With our in-house engineering expertise, we can design and manufacture standalone equipment or plant-wide systems that are the right fit and can be fully integrated with upstream and downstream equipment. Backed by our Lifetime Performance Guarantee, Flexicon’s product line is meticulously constructed to meet the stringent standards of industrial, food, dairy, and pharmaceutical applications; and can move even the most uncooperative of materials under diverse process requirements, while ensuring a clean, safe environment for people and property.
Bulk Handling Systems
One-Stop-Source for Large-Scale Engineered, Integrated Bulk Handling Systems
Flexicon engineers design and automate large scale bulk handling systems of every type, including those that source bulk materials from multiple locations, move materials at high rates while achieving precise batch weights, and integrate a diversity of process equipment from multiple manufacturers.
Flexicon can work independently, or with the engineering firm managing your entire expansion, or directly with your in-house engineering team, adhering strictly to your standards, documentation requirements and timelines.
Materials Handled
Convey, Load, Unload, Weigh, Feed, and Process Virtually Any Bulk Solid Material.
Whether your bulk material consists of large pellets, fine powders, or a combination of both; flows freely or resists movement; has a bulk density of 50 or 5000 kg/cu m; or tends to pack, plug, cake, smear, fluidise, agglomerate, break easily, or separate, Flexicon has likely conveyed, fed, discharged, filled, weighed, dumped, or otherwise handled it many times before. Since 1974, Flexicon has specialised in moving even the most challenging bulk materials known to the chemical, paint, food, pharmaceutical, and plastics industries.

Globepak (PTY) Ltd., a subsidiary of the USN Group, needed to meet growing demand for its sports nutrition products but struggled with outdated bulk handling systems. To address this, DC Weighing and Control upgraded Globepak’s 14,000 m² facility with Flexicon’s bulk bag dischargers and flexible screw conveyors. The new system ensures continuous, contamination-free material transfer from bulk bags to packaging machines, allowing faster, no-touch processing and seamless changeovers. The automated system supports Globepak’s production of over 360 products and has significantly improved efficiency, reduced costs, and prepared the company for future expansion.
