UniFlex flexible screw conveyors are designed to move free-flowing bulk materials, including powders, granules, blends, and pellets. They are commonly used in applications where materials must be conveyed between processing or packaging equipment efficiently and reliably.

The UniFlex conveyor uses a rotating stainless steel helical screw inside a flexible tube to move bulk material from the inlet to the discharge point. The screw self-centers within the casing during operation, creating clearance between the screw and the tube so particles can flow freely. This design supports consistent and dependable material flow.

Flexible screw conveyors offer several operational advantages. These include a compact footprint, the ability to route around existing equipment, simple operation with only one moving part, and dependable conveying performance. They also provide a cost-effective solution for moving bulk materials within processing and packaging environments.

UniFlex conveyors are designed with a small footprint and a narrow conveyor tube. This allows them to fit into tight spaces where larger conveying systems may not be practical. The compact design also makes it easier to install the conveyor within existing production lines.

Yes. The flexible tube design allows the UniFlex conveyor to adapt to different plant layouts. It can operate at an incline or horizontally and can be routed to bypass existing equipment or obstacles when required. This flexibility allows the conveyor to support a range of conveying distances and installation requirements. Additionally, H75 models can be configured with a bend radius up to 45-degrees over a 10 feet arc to navigate around equipment, but H125 models must be straight.

Key components of the UniFlex conveyor include a 304 stainless steel wire spiral, a food-grade anti-static UHMW or stainless steel conveyor tube, and a receiving hopper fabricated from stainless steel or mild steel. Custom hopper designs are also available depending on the application.

UniFlex conveyors are designed for the intermittent conveying of free-flowing materials such as powders, pellets, and granular material. They are suitable for handling products used in industries such as food processing, chemical processing, and other bulk material handling applications.

The UniFlex flexible screw conveyor is driven by an electric motor connected to a gear reducer. The motor rotates the screw inside the conveyor tube, allowing material to move continuously from the inlet to the discharge point.

Yes. UniFlex conveyors can be configured to connect with upstream or downstream equipment used in bulk material handling systems. For example, the conveyor can be connected to equipment such as bulk bag unloaders or positioned to discharge into downstream processing or packaging equipment.

UniFlex conveyors can be equipped with features that support easier disassembly and cleaning. Options such as tool free removable cleanout caps, quick-release clamps, and tilt functionality allow operators to access the system more easily during maintenance or product changeover.

Yes. UniFlex conveyors can be configured with different hopper designs, inlet options, and mounting configurations to meet specific application requirements. Standard receiving hoppers are available, and custom hopper designs can be supplied when specialized material handling needs are present.

UniFlex conveyors can be supplied as either fixed stationary units or portable conveyors. Portable configurations can be useful when conveying equipment needs to be repositioned between different work areas within a facility.

UniFlex conveyors can include a safety bar grate with an interlock system. This feature helps prevent foreign materials from entering the product stream and stops the conveyor if the grate is lifted, supporting safer operation.
