07.12.2015 Test laboratory for tubular cable conveyors

Flexicon Europe, Whitstable, UK, has completed construction of a new test laboratory for FLEXI-DISC™ tubular cable conveyors and integrated bulk handling equipment. The test plant provides separate 10 and 15cm diameter tubular cable conveyor circuits with drive systems and tensioners which can be demonstrated as stand-alone systems. Both circuits are also configured with metered and non-metered inlet adapters, and valved and full-flow discharges that allow for rapid connection to a variety of full size upstream and downstream bulk handling equipment also produced by the company.

 

"The diversity of interchangeable equipment enables Flexicon to simulate customer installations and verify system performance using the customer's actual material which, together with Flexicon's lifetime performance guarantee, takes the risk and guesswork out of ordering these systems," commented David Gill, president of Flexicon Corp., USA. The UK company also maintains comparable test laboratories for its line of flexible screw conveyors and PNEUMATI-CON® pneumatic conveying systems, allowing the relative merits of each to be compared in terms of conveying over short and long distances, moving problematic materials, preventing the separation of blends, and meeting other requirements. www.flexicon.co.uk
