Multiflo with Custom Inlet
General
The Guttridge Multiflo is a modular Archimedean Screw Feeder / Screw Conveying System designed for handling foods, chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Screw conveyors are widely used for the general conveying of bulk solids materials around packaging and processing factories as well as for hopper discharge applications. The Multiflo is ideal for handling a wide range of free flowing materials.
Specification
The Multiflo is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance - a unique quick release clamping system connects the outer screw tubes, whilst slip-fit joints connect the auger screw sections. The system is robust and ideal for frequent wet or dry cleaning regimes - essential in today's modern factories. Inlet hoppers and special outlets allow a variety of configurations and machines can be specified as inclined for elevating or horizontal for conveying - making the Multiflo a very versatile machine. Manufactured with contact parts in 316 stainless steel, with a range of different polish finishes.
