Helix Hi/Lo mobile flexible-screw conveyor
The Helix Hi/Lo mobile flexible-screw conveyor is an all-in-one unit that comes with an integrated bag compactor and a dust-collection hood at the bag-dump station to improve plant and worker safety during the processing of small bags of powders or bulk solids. Filtration options provide collection efficiency down to 1 micron to capture and confine airborne material within the unit. The system’s filters are cleaned using a reverse pulse-jet system. Dual pneumatic rams push a plate to compact a pile of empty bags and produce an easy-to-handle 4-ft3 bundle, and an integrated bag compactor allows users to dispose of bags via a pass-through port from the dump station. The conveyor’s design allows a single worker to easily handle washdowns, auger changeouts, and servicing from floor level. An electric actuator automatically lowers the auger to an easy-to-access height. Exclusive T-handle couplings allow disassembly in minutes. Optional external vibration can be added to promote material flow. Stainless steel is used for construction, with sanitary or food-grade finishes available. The unit can convey to heights up to 12 ft and at rates up to 25 ft3/min.

Tubular Drag Conveyor
This fully enclosed tubular drag conveyor with a chain-driven flight mechanism gently conveys friable and blended materials. Dust-free operation eliminates the potential for toxic or flammable spillage, odors, and airborne dust that create hazardous work areas. The enclosed design also protects the conveyed product from outside contamination. The system can be flexibly laid out to convey the product horizontally, vertically, or at any angle and around corners. The system can accommodate multiple inlets and outlets and has a large throughput capacity (up to 50 ft3/min).

Tubular Drag conveyor
This tubular drag conveyor uses a low-hp motor to quietly pull a chain with flights, gently contains material and uses less energy than other conveyors. Its totally enclosed design restricts material within the process and eliminates exposure of materials to the plant environment. The unit conveys vertically, horizontally, or at any angle, processing material at a rate up to 50 ft3/min. It is suitable for conveying blended or friable products and handles a diverse range of materials, from hardened steel shot to limestone to pasta.
