Convey-All™/FSC Flexible Screw Conveyor

Product Overview

Metalfab Convey-All/FSC Flexible Screw Conveyors feature a rugged modular design and provide a highly effective yet economical means to convey powder or granular material without product separation. Conveyors are available in configurations from 10 to 20 ft. lengths with a choice of a 3˝ diameter helix screw rated to convey up to 150 cu. ft./hr. or a 4˝ diameter helix screw rated to convey up to 450 cu. ft./hr. Engineered with only one moving part, the conveyors are economical to use, easy to clean, and simple to maintain with virtually no process downtime.

Features/Benefits
