Flexicon Introduces Tubular Cable Conveyers
A new FLEXI-DISC™ line of Tubular Cable Conveyors for the gentle transfer of coffee and tea products has been introduced by Flexicon, says David Gill, president.
“The new tubular cable conveyor is a strategic addition that complements Flexicon’s established line of flexible screw conveyors and pneumatic conveying systems, allowing us to now convey virtually any bulk solid material in the most efficient manner possible,” says Gill, adding, “Flexicon has engineered and thoroughly tested the new conveyor over several years to significantly advance the technology and performance associated with this conveying method.”
The conveyor moves material using high-strength polymer discs––affixed to a stainless steel or galvanized cable––that slide within smooth stainless steel tubing, moving fragile coffee and tea products gently, quietly and dust-free, horizontally, vertically or at any angle. The system can have single or multiple inlets and outlets, and convey over short distances or hundreds of feet/meters.
