Flexi-Disc - Tubular Cable Conveyors

SHARE

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.

  • Gentle conveying of friable materials including powders, pellets, flakes, granules, chunks, shavings, fluff and regrind, with no separation of blended materials containing particles of disparate sizes, shapes and bulk densities
  • Transfers material from single or multiple inlets to single or multiple outlets (ideal for packaging lines)
  • Modular components allow changes in conveyor routing, length, and the number and position of inlets and outlets
  • Low power requirements per volume of material conveyed
  • Air-free conveying eliminates need for blowers and filtration equipment
  • Maintains temperature and moisture levels of material being conveyed
  • Enclosed system contains dust, prevents contamination
  • Stainless steel components finished to food, pharmaceutical or industrial standards
  • Evacuates material, minimizing waste and facilitating rapid cleaning
  • Available with quick-clean accessories and CIP features
The FLEXI-DISC Cable-Disc Assembly is highly engineered and thoroughly proven to simultaneously deliver unsurpassed efficiency, extreme durability and ultra-gentle product handling. 

Discs are available in a range of designs and high-strength engineered polymers to suit a broad variety of materials. The discs are designed for smooth passage through bends in the tubing circuit, and with clearances to the tube wall designed to eliminate or minimize product degradation. Low friction surfaces allow the discs to glide
efficiently within the smooth stainless steel tubing, while minimizing product hang-up and allowing easy cleaning.

The FLEXI-DISC Cable is offered in stainless steel, and is available polymer-coated.

FLEXI-DISC Straight Tubing, Elbows and Couplings are offered in 304 or 316 stainless steel finished to industrial or sanitary standards.

Clear Inspection Tubing can be located in any straight run of tubing to visually monitor conveyor performance.

Sanitary SystemsFLEXI-DISC Conveyors are fully enclosed, preventing contamination of the product and plant environment. At the end of a conveying cycle, the discs evacuate the conveyor tubing of material, virtually eliminating wasted product and facilitating rapid, thorough sanitizing.

Sanitary specifications include polymer-coated or uncoated 304 or 316 stainless steel cable.

All tubing, material inlets, material outlets and ancillary metallic components are of 304 or 316 stainless steel with continuous welds ground and polished to food, pharmaceutical or industrial standards.

Wet or dry cleaning accessories can be quickly attached to the FLEXI-DISC cable to minimize downtime between changeovers, while Clean-In-Place (CIP) accessories allow rapid, automated and thorough sanitizing of the system.
