Flexicon, which is based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, has released the new Bev-Con mobile flexible screw conveyor. All material contact surfaces are made of stainless steel and finished to food, pharmaceutical or industrial standards.
A round vibratory screener aims to remove oversize particles and reduce soft agglomerates before conveying on-size bulk materials from powders and large pellets that flow freely, to non-free-flowing products that pack, cake, seize or smear due to compression or frictional heat.
A flexible screw with geometry optimized for difficult-to-move products is the only moving part contacting material, and is driven above the point at which material exits the conveyor. This aims to prevent material contact with seals and associated bearing failure and product contamination.
