Flexible Spiral Conveyors

Flexible spiral conveyors have been used for many years in various industries. The innovative technique as well as the outstanding quality of these conveyors has given them a leading position in the market.

Advantages:
- dust free and gentle conveying of fragile products in
   closed system
- high conveying capacity with a small cross section and
   low motor power
- large range of applications
- transport of dry powders of all sorts
- conveying distances of up to 40 m with one conveyor
- conveying capacities between 0,2 and 20 m3/h
- simple assembly
- easily integrated with existing machines
- easy cleaning
- design for CIP-cleaning
- flame proof design acording to European and international standards
- pressure- and vacuum-tight as well as explosion-proof
