Flexicon BEV-CON mobile flexible screw conveyor

The BEV-CON Mobile Flexible Screw Conveyor system screens and elevates free- and non-free-flowing bulk materials at multiple plant locations and allows rapid sanitising. The system has a round vibratory screener which removes oversize particles and reduces soft agglomerates before it conveys on-size bulk materials. The system is suitable for 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.

Ready to plug in and run, the castor-mounted system can be rolled into position, locked in place with jacking footpads and connected to an upstream material source in several minutes.

The product has a rugged flexible screw with geometry optimised for difficult-to-move products. It is the only moving part contacting material and is driven above the point at which material exits the conveyor, preventing material contact with seals and associated bearing failure and product contamination.

As the screw rotates, it self-centres within the conveyor tube, providing clearance between the screw and tube wall, eliminating or minimising product degradation.

Apart from the smooth polymer conveyor tube, all material contact surfaces are of stainless steel, finished to food, pharmaceutical or industrial standards.

A lower clean-out cap can be removed to flush the smooth interior surfaces with steam, water or cleaning solutions, or to fully remove the flexible screw for cleaning and inspection.
