Flexicon HPD1-X18X Elevator screw conveyor system

• Transferring bulk dry materials vertically in food processing lines.
• Moving powders, granules, and flakes in chemical and pharmaceutical production.
• Feeding packaging machinery with consistent product flow.
• Integrating into automated material handling systems for ingredient delivery.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on material density and screw configuration, typically ranging from hundreds of kilograms to several tonnes per hour.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Material of construction

As indicated, this unit features stainless steel construction, which is standard for hygienic applications in food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries.

Screw diameter

The 90mm screw diameter suggests suitability for a range of free-flowing to semi-free-flowing powders and granules.

Elevation height

With a 4500mm screw length, this system is designed for significant vertical material transfer, common in multi-level processing facilities.

Feed method

The integrated big bag hoist and vibratory hopper indicate suitability for bulk material intake, reducing manual handling.

• What types of materials can this conveyor handle?

  Flexicon screw conveyors are generally versatile, handling a wide range of dry bulk solids including powders, granules, flakes, and pellets. Suitability depends on material flow characteristics and abrasiveness.

• Is this unit suitable for food-grade applications?

• What maintenance is typically required for a screw conveyor system?

• Can the conveying angle be adjusted?

• What footprint does a system like this typically require?

Used food processing conveyor systems are generally valued for their durability and cost-effectiveness in industrial operations. Buyers typically prioritise checking belt condition, motor functionality, and sanitation standards, as these directly impact production efficiency and food safety compliance. Common strengths include their robust construction and adaptability to various processing environments. Industry sentiment favours units from reputable manufacturers with documented maintenance history. Careful inspection of wear components and verification of compliance with food industry regulations remain essential before purchase.
