VAC-U-MAX Flexible Screw Conveyor Provides Economical Method Of Metering Products From Bulk Bag Unloaders

VAC-U-MAX Aero-Flex Flexible Screw Conveyor. Designed to compliment the already extensive range of pneumatic and mechanical conveyors offered by VAC-U-MAX. The AERO-FLEX units provide an economic method of metering product from Bulk Bag Unloaders, Bag Dump Stations and Storage Vessels. Available in a range of popular sizes the AERO-FLEX Flexible Screw Conveyor transfers powders over distances of up to 40' and rates to 10 tons per hour for materials having a bulk density of 40 pounds per cubic foot. Applications include the refilling of packaging machine hoppers, metered feed into mix tanks such as lime addition and gain in weight hopper filling and Bulk Bag Discharging.

AERO-FLEX flexible conveying systems are engineered to transport most dry bulk materials at a reduced cost. They convey powders and granular material without separation of product.

The Aero-Flex system utilizes a stainless steel or carbon steel one-piece helix, which is enclosed within a stationary plastic tubing, for transferring material from its feed hopper to the discharge point, quickly and efficiently. The AERO-FLEX is excellent for transferring most types of products including, Foods, Pharmaceuticals, Chemicals, and Plastics, from bulk bag unloaders, bag dump stations, and feed hoppers.
