Flexicon’s conveyor consists of a heavy-gauge stainless-steel screw that rotates within an 8-in. dia. (200 mm) stainless-steel tube. Since the conveyor is driven at its top end by a 20 hp (15 kW) variable-speed electric motor and gear reducer, material exits the discharge housing prior to contacting any seals or bearings. The tube interior and removable screw are smooth and crevice-free, allowing rapid, thorough cleaning.
Rugged enough to withstand incidental contact with front-end loaders, the heavy-gauge stainless-steel hopper holds up to 8 tons (7 tonnes), or 200 cu ft (5.7 m3), providing an ample supply of material for the high-capacity conveyor to run continually as a front-end loader replenishes the material.
