Flexicon to Deliver a Taste of Bulk Handling Efficiency at Gulfood

The forthcoming Gulfood 2012 exhibition will provide Flexicon Europe with an opportunity to highlight its latest advanced handling systems for improving bulk material flow. Visitors to the Flexicon stand will get a taste of equipment from a manufacturer who has a proven reputation for helping to simplify and automate the transfer of powders, flakes and granular type materials from bulk store to downstream food processing operations.

The company will be exhibiting within the UK-PPMA pavilion (Stand: S1-F27), showing equipment such as standalone bulk bag dischargers to more complex integrated solutions incorporating flexible screw and pneumatic conveying systems.

Flexicon Bulk Bag Dischargers, often the start of a process, are engineered to allow total free-flow or controlled release (loss-of-weight) of material and are available in numerous frame configurations to accept bulk bags via powered hoist and trolley or fork truck. Often the bulk bag discharge will deliver into a hopper fitted with a flexible screw conveyor, and this is also being exhibited by Flexicon at Gulfood.

The Flexicon flexible screw conveyor has proven itself time and again as the ideal system for handling everything from fine powders to large flakes and material that is fragile or brittle and prone to break or crumb, is cohesive, has a tendency to cake, smear or fluidize. Visitors to the stand at the UK-PPMA pavilion will gain an insight into the relatively simple conveyor design backed by specialist engineering know-how that can dramatically increase plant productivity for relativity low capital investment and low operating cost.

These two products are just part of a comprehensive range of bulk handling systems available from Flexicon Europe that are designed to simplify and transform the movement of powders, cereals and flakes.
