Spiroflow unveils flexible conveying system at PPMA

SPIROFLOW will exhibit its multiple flexible screw conveyor demonstration setup, complete with sack tip station, product agitators and loss-in-weight feeders at the PPMA, the UK’s premier processing and packaging exhibition which will be held at NEC in Birmingham from 29 September to 1 October 2015.

The company’s technical team will be on site to demonstrate the system, said to be versatile in terms of feed rate, throughput range, consistency and accuracy of output, angle of elevation and quick release features, and in particular the vacuum conveyor is able to negotiate lengthy and tortuous routes and hygienically transfer materials.

Spiroflow will also present the bulk bag discharger Model T2, a market leader, with options including loss-in-weight product feed, patented massage systems to promote flow from bags, hygienic spout sealing device, integral hoist and other devices to ensure controlled and dust-free emptying of 1-2 tonne bags.

“We are delighted to be demonstrating fully working examples of our totally hygienic conveying systems at PPMA,” said marketing manager, Ben Ayrton. “While our new flexible screw conveyor is certain to attract attention, our line-up of equipment shows that we can offer a wide range of standard and customized material handling options for both small and large volume users.”

The company’s dust-tight equipment are for efficiently conveying food ingredients such as flour, cereals and coffee granules, as well as for accurately controlling the flow of materials for the chemical and mineral sectors.  From 2011 to 2015, its sales have soared 35% for material handling systems.  

This year the Lancashire business has won the Company of the Year Award from the Food Processing magazine and the SHAPA Company of the Year Award.

In addition to Flexible Screw Conveyors, Vacuum Conveyors and Bulk Bag Dischargers, Spiroflow is also a manufacturer of Bulk Bag Fillers, Aero Mechanical Conveyors, Tubular Cable and Chain Drag Conveyors, Bin Activators, Ingredients Handling and Weighing Systems. The company’s technical and engineering expertise has led to it developing an international reputation for an unrivalled range of products with state-of-the-art control systems.
