This conveyor accommodates discharge heights up to 40 ft
The Helix® flexible screw conveyor (photo) is designed to excel in multiple applications, from bulk material transport to precise batching and blending, effectively accommodating powders, granules and irregularly shaped materials. The Helix is flexible, featuring a helicoid screw that rotates within a fixed tube to transport materials efficiently from one point to another. It supports horizontal conveying up to 80 ft, and vertical discharge heights of up to 40 ft, making it adaptable to various plant layouts and space constraints. Available in diameters ranging from 2.5 to 8 in., and with capacities from 15 to 1,800 ft³/h, the Helix offers a variety of customizable options, including multiple auger types designed for different material characteristics. Additionally, the tool-free casing-removal feature facilitates maintenance, enhancing operational efficiency and minimizing downtime. The Hi/Lo functionality keeps operators safely at ground level, eliminating the need for ladders or lifts, while the portable base allows for easy movement between processes. For operations requiring precise material dosing, the Helix is available with a loss-in-weight batching option. This ensures accurate dosing and consistent product quality. The conveyor can also be customized with various hopper designs. — Hapman, Kalamazoo, Mich.
