Flexicon has released a new TIP-TITE® Bulk Transfer System, designed to move material from boxes into a mobile bin with vibratory feeder that services multiple downstream processes. All stainless steel construction allows handling of corrosive materials and/or wash down between runs of contamination-sensitive food, nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and chemical products.
The dust-tight connection aims to allow for opening of a pneumatically-actuated slide gate and discharging of material into the bin with no contamination of the product or plant environment, while permitting partially-empty boxes to be returned to the plant floor with no dusting. The system is also offered in carbon steel with durable industrial coatings or with stainless steel material contact surfaces.
