Meeting the challenges of conveying polymers and plastics
An aero-mechanical conveyor (AMC) using FloDisc® Technology is an economical, rapid, and safe way to handle light-density polymer and plastic bulk materials. Floveyor engineered the fully enclosed design to rapidly propel materials at any elevation without diminishing throughputs. Total batch transfers, along with easy cleaning, ensure maximum uptime. It’s why Floveyor is the ideal choice for cost-effective bulk material handling of polymers and plastics.
Material characteristics
Adhesion to sides, explosion risk
Volume changes with humidity, handling issues
Requires gentle handling, limits system types
Conveyor ranges
Reliable, rapid order fulfillment with low cost of ownership
When safety and durability are critical
Effortless integration with complex applications and sites
Process line technology
Dosing Screw Feeders (DSF) are designed to accurately meter or dose bulk material.
Aero-Mechanical Screw Feeders (ASF) are designed specifically to feed bulk material into a Floveyor aeromechanical conveyor (AMC).
FIBC Unloading Screw Feeders are designed specifically to unload either disposable or reusable Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBCs).
Reusable FIBC Unloaders are designed to safely and reliably unload reusable (multi-trip) Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (bulk bags).
Disposable FIBC Unloaders are designed specifically to decant disposable (single-trip) flat bottom FIBCs.
Trough Screw Feeders (TSF) are suitable for installs that require feeder metering from multiple sources to a single discharge.
The Rotary Lump Breaker (RLB) is designed for the simple deagglomeration of compacted material into smaller particles.
Floveyor invented theAMC and has been evolving powder handling for 65 years. A single Floveyor can transfer and elevate thousands of powders, granules, flakes, pellets and beads in your polymers and plastics plant. Our tubular drag conveyor (TDC) is ideal for complex routes and multiple discharge points. Floveyor conveyors are energy efficient, and are available for hazardous applications and in mobile units. Whether you have a greenfield operation or need process line technology to integrate with your existing operation, Floveyor has versatile conveying technology you need to keep your plant running safely and at high capacity.
