Rate Technology is honoured to represent Flexicon equipment & systems

Flexicon Corporation is a world leader in the design and manufacture of bulk handling equipment and custom-engineered and integrated plant-wide systems. Flexicon products range from individual equipment to automated systems that source bulk material from interior and exterior plant locations, transport it between process equipment and storage vessels, weigh it, blend it, feed it to packaging lines, extruders, molding machines and storage vessels, and load it into railcars and trailers.

Flexicon can also custom-engineer automated, plant-wide bulk handling and processing systems that integrate Flexicon equipment with bulk handling and process equipment of other manufacturers.

 

Move virtually any bulk material

Free-flowing and non-free-flowing materials and blends.

Flexicon flexible screw conveyors (also known as helix conveyors, screw conveyors, spiral conveyors and auger conveyors) offer efficiency and versatility, conveying bulk materials ranging from large pellets to sub-micron powders—both free-flowing and non-free-flowing—with no separation of blended products.

Handle friable materials gently, efficiently, dust-free

FLEXI-DISC® Tubular Cable Conveyors (also known as Disc Conveyors and Drag Conveyors) gently slide bulk materials through smooth stainless steel tubing using low-friction polymer discs attached to stainless steel cable.

Provide dust-free loading, untying, retying and removal of bulk bags

Flexicon BULK-OUT® Bulk Bag Dischargers (also known as FIBC, Big Bag and Jumbo Bag unloaders) are offered in numerous frame configurations. The two most popular are BFF Series dischargers with bag lifting frame for forklift loading and unloading of bulk bags, and BFC Series dischargers with cantilevered I-beam, electric hoist and trolley for loading and unloading of bulk bags without the use of a forklift.

Flexicon BLOCK-BUSTER® Hydraulic Bulk Bag Conditioners (also known as FIBC, Big Bag and Jumbo Bag Massagers) loosen bulk solid materials that have solidified during storage and shipment, enabling bulk bag unloaders to discharge the material through bag spouts.

Models to fit every application.

Flexicon bulk bag fillers (also known as FIBC, Big Bag and Jumbo Bag Fillers) range from basic stand-alone units to sophisticated systems to match the budget and capacity requirements of each customer's application. Each of these configurations delivers optimum performance across specific capacity ranges with maximum cost-effectiveness.

Reverse-pulse filter cleaning for continuous operation

Collect dust efficiently.

Flexicon bag dump stations (also known as manual dumping stations) collect dust generated when dumping powder and bulk solids from bags, boxes, drums, and other containers, and return the material to the hopper.

The system reduces material waste and eliminates the need to clean a remote dust collection site, while protecting workers and preventing plant contamination.

Sealed or open-chute dumping of bulk materials from drums, boxes and other containers

Flexicon's dust-free TIP-TITE® Container Dumpers and Open-Chute Container Dumpers (also known as Container Tippers) accommodate popular sizes of drums, boxes and other containers used for storage and shipment of bulk solid materials.

Move virtually any bulk material, from any upstream source, to any downstream destination

Whether you are sourcing material from bulk bags, silos, manual dumping stations, process equipment or all of the above; weigh batching one ingredient or 50; blending your recipe; filling containers, and/or delivering it to process vessels, packaging lines, or any other destination, Flexicon has the comprehensive selection of equipment you need for a total weigh batching solution.
