16.12.2013 Tubular cable conveyors: 50% increase in diameter more than doubles capacity

Flexicon Europe, Whitstable, UK, has expanded its FLEXI-DISC line of tubular cable conveyors with the addition of a 15cm diameter system, more than doubling the capacity of its recently introduced 10cm  diameter unit. The conveyor is intended for gentle transfer of friable materials by means of low-friction, high-strength polymer discs. The stainless steel tubing can be arranged horizontally, vertically or at any angle – if necessary through small apertures in walls or ceilings – over short or long distances. The system can be configured with single or multiple inlets that are metered and/or non-metered, and discharges that are valved or open. All housings and ancillary metallic components are of stainless steel with continuous welds ground and polished to food, pharmaceutical or industrial standards.

In addition to galvanised cable, discs are available affixed to stainless steel and nylon-encapsulated stainless steel cable for hygiene applications. Wet or dry cleaning accessories can be quickly attached to the cable to minimise downtime between changeovers, while CIP accessories allow automated cleansing of the system.  www.flexicon.co.uk
