An all-new FLEXI-DISC line of Tubular Cable Conveyors for the gentle transfer of friable food and non-food products has been introduced by Flexicon Corporation. The conveyor moves material using high-strength polymer discs–affixed to a stainless steel or 
galvanized cable–that slide within smooth stainless steel tubing, moving fragile products gently, quietly and dust-free, horizontally, vertically or at any angle, through small holes in walls or ceilings. Gentle handling offered by the conveyor makes it suitable for food products prone to breakage, bulk chemicals, minerals, chopped fiberglass, microspheres, regrind, pellets, tobacco and other friable materials. The system can have single or multiple inlets and outlets, and convey over short distances or hundreds of feet/meters. Modular system components in 304 or 316 stainless steel include tubing, drive wheel housings, tension wheel housings, metered and non-metered inlets, and discharges with and without valves, as well as accessories for wet or dry cleaning, including CIP sanitizing. Available in unlimited configurations, the conveyor is offered as a stand-alone system, or fully integrated with upstream and downstream equipment.
