Conveying Profits

Noida Fabcon Machines Pvt. Ltd. offers Flexible Screw Conveyor (FSC), which is generally used in processing of food, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, minerals, ceramics, plastic and rubber.

The design of the conveyor is very simple and eliminates the need for any additional operating equipment such as filters or bearing. It consists of electric motor driven spiral, which is the only moving part that rotates within a food grade and sealed tube. The material moves along the spiral within the tube. The unique action of the flexible spiral conveyor eliminates the risk of the product separation that can take place in conventional pneumatic conveying systems, where mixed materials have components of different densities and particle size. In fact, the conveying action ensures constant remixing.

Conveyor maximum length can be upto 15 meters for material bulk density 0.6 kg/ litre and may be increased or decreased inversely with bulk density. Vertical installation is also possible, but carrying capacity decreases with increase in angle of inclination. Feed hopper is available in standard size or according to customer's specification.
The conveyor is available in options of stainless steel or mild steel / painted. Its spirals are used for every application in different shapes i.e. round- for most applications, flat- for fine powder, proscrew- for difficult material. The main features include dust free, easy to clean, high & low level control, safe & hygienic handling, accurate metering and high transfer capacity. The main advantage is that the installation and maintenance costs are low and the efficiency and performance is comparatively higher.

“The conveyor has become a necessary mode of transfer for easy conveying of powders & granules where controlled flow is required,” says Nishant Bansal from Fabcon. “The different sizes of conveyor are suitable for any capacity upto15 tons per hour and any length from 2-15 meters per conveyor. Distribution of product at more than one outlet is also possible,” he conveys The flexible nature of conveyor allows bends to be incorporated while installing the conveyor and the same can be managed through walls and roofs with minimal problem to the existing layout. Many successful installations at companies like ITC, Haldirams, Nestle, Unilever, P&G and Pyrotek have been done for different products like flour, grits, chemicals, sugar and spices.
