AFC Flat Spiral Design Assures Smooth, Consistent Conveying
Clifton, NJ: The clever flat edge spiral screw design from process equipment manufacturer Automated Flexible Conveyor, Clifton, NJ, (afcspiralfeeder.com), features a broad, flat edge that minimizes the potential for aeration to add volume to low bulk density materials during transfer. Offered with the company’s AFC SPIRALFEEDER® flexible screw conveyor, the flat edge spiral screw design is suitable for transferring cake mixes, starches, mica, fly ash, carbon black, and other dry, low bulk density powders, pellets, flakes, and granules. Consistent, uniform conveying at high throughputs is assured without clumping, clogs, or compaction.
Customized based on the material properties, target throughput rate, and other factors, the AFC flat edge spiral design is machined from 100% stainless steel as standard for long term durability and is available with a polished surface finish for sanitary processing. The flat edge spiral is often interchangeable with the company’s round, knife-edge, and custom spiral screw designs to accommodate nearly any dry material transfer application.
The flexible screw conveyors with flat edge spirals are designed and manufactured at the company’s New Jersey facility. Product testing is offered in the on-site test lab prior to delivery and installation.
