Coach’s Notes: Flexicon’s FLEXI-DISC tubular cable conveyors are designed to transport fragile materials and integrate with upstream and/or downstream equipment that sources material from single or multiple locations and deliver it selectively to storage vessels, filling machines or other processing equipment. Upstream equipment ranges from inlet hoppers and metering devices to bulk bag dischargers, drum/box/container dumpers, bag dump stations, weigh batching/blending systems and storage vessels. Typical downstream equipment includes bulk bag fillers, drum/box/container fillers, packaging machines and storage vessels.
Scout’s Notes: Gentle handling offered by the conveyor makes it suitable for products that are prone to breakage or degradation in transit, including bulk chemicals, minerals, microspheres, tablets, capsules and other friable materials. All equipment is available to sanitary or industrial standards with manual or automated controls, and is factory-tested for seamless integration with the conveyor and the user's process.
