Flexicon released a new bulk bag conditioner and a low-profile flexible screw conveyor for operators handling different materials in a production facility. The bulk bag conditioner loosens densely packed solid materials such as chemicals and heat-sensitive products using hydraulic rams with contoured end plates that press and release the sides of the bag. It also features a scissor lift with an accordion-like dust skirt and turntable to condition the bag from all sides and heights, the company notes. The low-profile flexible screw conveyor is designed to roll below mezzanines and other low-headroom areas to receive material from overhead equipment and discharge it into processing vessels in the plant. It contains an integral bin that can hold one-third of the contents in a bulk bag and a screw in the straight conveyor tube that moves bulk materials with a tendency to cake, pack, smear or plug, Flexicon explains.
