Helix Hi/Lo mobile flexible-screw conveyor

The Helix Hi/Lo mobile flexible-screw conveyor is an all-in-one unit that comes with an integrated bag compactor and a dust-collection hood at the bag-dump station to improve plant and worker safety during the processing of small bags of powders or bulk solids. Filtration options provide collection efficiency down to 1 micron to capture and confine airborne material within the unit. The system’s filters are cleaned using a reverse pulse-jet system. Dual pneumatic rams push a plate to compact a pile of empty bags and produce an easy-to-handle 4-ft3 bundle, and an integrated bag compactor allows users to dispose of bags via a pass-through port from the dump station. The conveyor’s design allows a single worker to easily handle washdowns, auger changeouts, and servicing from floor level. An electric actuator automatically lowers the auger to an easy-to-access height. Exclusive T-handle couplings allow disassembly in minutes. Optional external vibration can be added to promote material flow. Stainless steel is used for construction, with sanitary or food-grade finishes available. The unit can convey to heights up to 12 ft and at rates up to 25 ft3/min.
