Flexicon Corporation products

Provide dust-free loading, untying, retying and removal of bulk bags. Flexicon BULK-OUT Bulk Bag Dischargers, also referred to as bulk bag unloaders, FIBC unloaders and FIBC dischargers, are offered in numerous frame configurations, the two most popular of which are: BFF Series dischargers with bag lifting frame for forklift loading and unloading of bulk bags (FIBCs), and BFC Series dischargers with cantilevered I-beam, electric hoist and trolley for loading and unloading of bulk bags without the use of a forklift.

Flexicon flexible screw conveyors (also known as helix conveyors, screw conveyors, spiral conveyors and auger conveyors) offer efficiency and versatility, conveying bulk materials ranging from large pellets to sub-micron powders—both free-flowing and non-free-flowing—with no separation of blended products.

Flexicon`s PNEUMATI-CON dilute phase pneumatic conveying systems range from single-point `up-and-in` installations to cross-plant systems with multiple pick-up and discharge points and automated controls, satisfying an exceptionally wide range of bulk conveying applications. All are custom-engineered and fully integrated with other Flexicon equipment and systems, and your new or existing process.

Handle friable materials gently, efficiently, dust-free. FLEXI-DISC Tubular Cable Conveyors (also known as Disc Conveyors and Drag Conveyors) gently slide bulk materials through smooth stainless steel tubing using low-friction polymer discs attached to stainless steel cable. The discs and cable are driven by a wheel at one end of the circuit, and put under tension by a wheel at the other end. This design allows single or multiple inlets and outlets, and the routing of conveyor tubing horizontally, vertically or at any angle, through small holes in walls or ceilings. Because components are modular, inlets and outlets can be added, removed or relocated, and the circuit lengthened, shortened or re-routed as needs change.

One-stop-source for engineered, integrated bulk handling systems. You can alleviate the burden and risk of designing your system, coordinating multiple suppliers, integrating components, trouble-shooting start-up and assuming responsibility for system performance, by relying on Flexicon for it all. Flexicon can evaluate your bulk material(s), plant layout, through-put rates, residual product limitations, cleanliness, noise limitations, access, cost, cycle times and other parameters, and outline the solution to your bulk handling problem.

All Flexicon equipment, from basic conveyors to sophisticated plant-wide process systems, are offered with DIGITAL PROGRAMMABLE CONTROLS, including: Programmable Logic Relays (PLRs). Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs). PLR-based controls packages are generally employed on individual equipment to monitor and control basic to semi-sophisticated functions. The PLR eliminates the need for analog timers and mechanical relays, offering numerous benefits, and can be utilized as an economical substitute for a full PLC in less complex equipment systems. PLCs, which generally offer a greater number of input/outputs and more processing power, are typically employed to monitor and control more sophisticated equipment systems such as multiple ingredient weigh batching/blending systems, larger pneumatic conveying systems and integrated engineered systems including multiple equipment types.

Reverse-Pulse Filter Cleaning for Continuous Operation. Collect dust efficiently: Flexicon bag dump stations (also known as manual dumping stations) collect dust generated when dumping powder and bulk solids from bags, boxes, drums, and other containers, and return the material to the hopper. The system reduces material waste and eliminates the need to clean a remote dust collection site, while protecting workers and preventing plant contamination. All units feature a high-velocity vacuum fan that draws airborne dust away from the operator through two cartridge filters that are sized according to the application.

Flexicon BLOCK-BUSTER® Hydraulic Bulk Bag Conditioners (also known as FIBC, Big Bag and Jumbo Bag Massagers) loosen bulk solid materials that have solidified during storage and shipment, enabling bulk bag unloaders to discharge the material through bag spouts. These conditioners are recommended for bulk bags containing hygroscopic chemicals, certain types of spice blends, heat-sensitive products, and other materials prone to solidifying to the point at which pneumatically-actuated flow promotion accessories integral to bulk bag dischargers are inefficient or completely ineffective. BLOCK-BUSTER® Hydraulic Bulk Bag Conditioners are available integrated into bulk bag unloading frames, or as self-standing units. Both configurations utilize two hydraulic rams with specially contoured end plates to press opposing sides of bulk bags.

Flexicon bulk bag fillers (also known as FIBC, Big Bag and Jumbo Bag Fillers) range from basic stand-alone units to sophisticated systems to match the budget and capacity requirements of each customer`s application. Each of these configurations delivers optimum performance across specific capacity ranges with maximum cost-effectiveness. Flexicon`s latest bulk bag filling innovation is the patent-pending SWING-DOWN^® filler. Designed for medium- to high-capacity applications, this revolutionary design brings the fill head to the operator at floor level for faster, safer and easier bag connections.
