FLEXICON® Flexible Screw Conveyors

Are you looking for a robust and adaptable solution for moving your bulk materials? Flexicon® Flexible Screw Conveyors are expertly designed to handle an incredibly diverse range of products across industries like food processing, dairy, pharmaceuticals, minerals, and chemicals. Whether you’re dealing with fine powders, large pellets, or materials prone to packing, caking, or smearing, our conveyors provide a reliable and efficient transfer method.

This video showcases the capabilities of our Flexible Screw Conveyors, demonstrating why Flexicon is an industry leader in this technology. You’ll see how these systems:

• Handle Diverse Materials: Successfully convey everything from free-flowing granules to difficult, non-free-flowing substances without causing separation in blended products.
• Offer Unrivalled Flexibility: Can be routed vertically, horizontally, or at any angle, navigating around obstacles and through tight spaces to fit your specific plant layout, including exterior locations.
• Ensure a Clean Environment: Operate as fully enclosed, dust-free systems, protecting your material from contamination and maintaining a clean plant atmosphere.
• Minimise Product Degradation: Feature a unique, rugged flexible screw as the only moving part in contact with the material. This screw self-centres within the tube, ensuring ample clearance to prevent wear and preserve product integrity.
• Operate Efficiently and Reliably: Require only low horsepower motors and simple gear reducers, leading to reduced energy consumption and lower maintenance costs.
• Provide Precise Control: Can be equipped with variable speed drives and volumetric feeding controls for simultaneous metering and conveying.

Flexicon’s innovative design, including U-shaped charging adapters for easy connection to hoppers or process equipment and various discharge housing options, makes integration seamless. We also offer mobile units with tilt-down bases for easy cleaning, inspection, and manoeuvrability. With a wide range of engineered screw designs and specialised hoppers, including those with flow promotion devices, we can tailor a solution for even the most challenging materials—be they heavy, light, fragile, moist, or sticky.

Our conveyors are available in carbon steel with durable industrial finishes or in stainless steel, meeting stringent industrial, food, dairy, or pharmaceutical standards. Whether you need a standalone unit or a fully integrated automated system, Flexicon can provide a solution, often customised for specialised requirements like low-profile models for restricted headroom or systems for feeding multiple ingredients.
