Handle virtually any bulk solid material
Flexicon stand-alone equipment and automated plant-wide systems convey, discharge,
condition, fill, dump and weigh batch bulk materials dust-free
lexicon engineers and manufactures a broad range of equipment
that handles virtually any bulk material, from large pellets
to sub-micron powders, including free-flowing and non-free-flowing
products that pack, cake, plug, smear, fluidize, or separate.
Individual bulk handling equipment includes: flexible screw conF
veyors,
tubular cable conveyors, pneumatic conveying systems,
bulk bag dischargers, bulk bag conditioners, bulk bag fillers, bag
dump stations, drum/box/container dumpers, and weigh batching/
blending systems. Each of these product groups encompasses a
broad range of models that can be custom engineered for specialized
applications, and integrated with new or existing upstream and
downstream processes and storage vessels.
All equipment is available to food, dairy, pharmaceutical and industrial
standards.
For large-scale bulk handling projects, Flexicon's separate
Project Engineering Division provides dedicated Project Managers
and engineering teams on four continents to handle projects from
concept to completion. Working with each customer's preferred engineering
firm or directly with their in-house team, Flexicon adheres
strictly to the customer's unique standards, documentation requirements
and timelines through a single point of contact, eliminating
the risk of coordinating multiple suppliers.
Flexicon's worldwide testing facilities simulate full-size customer
equipment and systems, verify performance prior to fabrication,
demonstrate newly constructed equipment for visiting customers,
Rota-Cone® Blender
T
Flexicon offers stand-alone bulk handling equipment as well as
plant-wide systems integrated with new or existing processes
and study the performance of new designs.
The company recently doubled the size of its manufacturing facility
and world headquarters in Bethlehem, PA, and also operates
manufacturing facilities in Kent, United Kingdom; QLD, Australia;
and Port Elizabeth, South Africa.
he Paul O. Abbe Rota-Cone® blender is the ideal choice for thorough
and gentle blending of powders or crystalline products.
Because this tumble blender has no shaft seals or agitator, cleaning
is simplified and cross-contamination minimized. All internal surfaces
the Rota-Cone® can be inspected from the single loading hatch.
Liquids can be
added through
the optional
spray line and
a pin agitator
can be added
to facilitate liquid
dispersion,
granulation or
de-agglomeration.
Loading
can accomplish
with our automated
drum
loading and discharging
system.
Controls
including variable
frequency
drive and PLC
can be supplied in NEMA-4X or NEMA-7&9 explosion-proof design.
Available sizes range from 0.1 to 500 cubic feet working capacity.

Solvent Drying
T
he model TURBODRYER
being exhibited
at the 2020 Powder
Show duplicates the actions
of a full scale production
dryer.
The material being
dried is stationary on
the rotating trays for a
full revolution on each
shelf. The material only
moves when it is transferred
through the slots
to the shelf below.
Material is handled
very gently with
a minimum of particle
breakage and fines formation.
Therefore dust
carryover Is very low,
generally less than 1%
of the throughput.
The dryer handles both water and solvent wet materials and removes
solvents down to ppm levels without the need for vacuum.
Recent installations include drying: Lithium Carbonate, solvent
wet Brominated fire retardant, animal feed supplement, carbon fiber
and silver powder.
