3-A flexible screw sanitary conveyor
A new Flexicon flexible screw conveyor for bulk foods, pharmaceuticals, dairy products and other contamination-sensitive materials meets 3-A sanitary standards
An innovative coupling design specific to the 3-A unit positioned beyond the point at which material exits the discharge spout virtually eliminates the potential of contamination, while allowing quick disconnection of the screw from the motor drive for wash down The only moving part contacting material is a flexible inner screw that self-centres as it rotates, providing clearance between itself and the tube wall and creating a gentle rolling action said to prevent the separation of blended materials
