Meeting the challenges of conveying polymers and plastics
When it comes to bulk material handling for polymers and plastics, producers want to find ways to reduce costs associated with unplanned downtime and material wastage. The light density of granules, beads and pellets can cause flow problems, requiring operator intervention – and more downtime. Can manufacturers optimise their process even when faced with multiple material changes? We think so.
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.
