Bulkflo Mobile Screw Elevator

General

The Bulkflo is a free standing mobile screw elevator with an integral 400 litre loading hopper. A horizontal discharge screw feeds the screw elevator which can then discharge material into processing or packaging machinery as required. The Bulkflo is ideal for providing buffer storage and subsequent elevating of a wide range of bulk materials - those with poor material flow characteristics as well as free flowing materials.

Specification

The Bulkflo is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance - a unique quick release clamping system connects the outer screw tubes, whilst slip-fit joints connect the screw auger sections. The system is robust and ideal for frequent wet or dry cleaning regimes - essential in today's modern factories. Special inlet hoppers and other options allow a variety of configurations making the Bulkflo a very versatile machine suitable for many powder handling and general bulk solids handling applications. Manufactured with contact parts in 316 stainless steel.
