Singapore last year to service South East Asia. Another recent development in conveyors is a line of
flexible screw conveyor systems that have been introduced by National Bulk Equipment for use in demanding environments. The conveyor discharge head is 12-gauge 304-stainless steel, formed and welded with continuous-weld seams that are ground and hand-burnished to eliminate gaps, joints and bolts. This avoids the materials accumulation that can occur with bolt-together, sheet-metal designs. Typical plastics that would be handled in these systems include reinforced polypropylene, high-impact polystyrene, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), and recycled-content polyole- fins, says the company.
the circuit. The conveyor is available in both 15-cm (6-inch) and 10-cm (4-inch) diameter discs. Flexicon is doubling the size of its US headquarters and manufacturing facility in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in an expansion project that is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2015. The expansion will increase the company’s ability to respond to marketplace demands and accelerate product development, says president and CEO David Gill. The company also opened a new office in
Loading and feeding Motan-Colortronic’s new Metro G range of material loaders are designed for granular materials and combine the best of Motan’s and Colortronic’s designs, enhanced with new features, says Carl Litherland, group marketing vice-president at the company. The modular, building-block system can be configured for specific applications with, for example, various types of vacuum valves and filters. Material inlets are available with different materials of construction, and the material inlets are now exchangeable so that the most appropriate inlet can be used, for example for handling more abrasive materials. At Fakuma 2014, the company also exhibited its
Metrolink materials selection system, an automatic coupling system that sets up and monitors the material path to eliminate errors. Each Metrolink unit allows a maximum of 32 processing machines to be fed with up
