Sanitary tubular cable conveyor for bulk foods

A new sanitary tubular cable conveyor for fragile bulk foods is available from Flexicon Europe, which allows rapid wash down between production runs.

The Flexi-Disc moves bulk material using high-strength, one-piece polymer discs affixed to polymer-coated 304 or 316 stainless steel cable, that slide within smooth stainless steel tubing, moving fragile products gently, quietly and dust-free.

The discs evacuate the conveyor tubing of material at the conclusion of a conveying cycle, virtually eliminating wasted product. Any material clinging to the cable and disc assembly can be continually removed during operation by the stiff bristles of a brush box or by a residual return chute equipped with a disc ramp that dislodges material and returns it to the product stream.

All material outlets, inlets and tubing are fabricated of 304 or 316 stainless steel with quick-disconnect covers and continuous welds ground smooth and flush with contiguous walls polished up to mirror finish.
