Make the right moves

Floveyor aero-mechanical conveyors are famous for their agility and small footprints.

Our three mobile conveyors take these qualities to the next level to deliver effortlessly portable materials handling solutions for a range of applications.

Drag Conveyor

Find a flexible fit

Floveyor’s tubular drag conveyors provide ideal low speed distribution systems for conveying materials over distances of up to 50m. They are also an optimal solution for applications needing complex configurations fitted with numerous inlet and discharge points at inclinations of up to 45⁰.

While these drag systems are designed to complement any of Floveyor’s aero-mechanical conveyors, they also operate in standalone applications. Running at a fraction of the Floveyor’s speed, our drag conveyors are equally proficient at handling fragile or abrasive materials.

Our drag systems have all of the distinctive features that make Floveyor a global leader in safe, clean, technically advanced materials transfer.

A Floveyor drag conveyor:

conveys material in a completely sealed system which delivers total batch transfer
is driven by one of our trademark polymer coated rope assemblies designed to prevent bacterial collection and contamination
needs minimal maintenance due to its robust and durable design
saves energy due to its efficient low-horsepower motor
integrates seamlessly with aero-mechanical conveyors and other established plant and equipment
accommodates multiple tube dropouts

Dropouts

Spread the load

Floveyor’s rotary inline tube dropouts are specifically engineered to complement our range of drag conveyors. The pneumatic dropout enables a dragline to discharge material through multiple outlets as needed. Equipped with pneumatic controls the dropout opens and closes on demand making for seamless integration with plant PLC and other equipment.

The dropout is a versatile unit that can bolt directly onto packaging lines, silos, extruders or hoppers. It can also be fitted with a transition and used as a small holding hopper complete with level sensors. When fitted with a two-way diverter the dropout delivers even greater flexibility in product distribution.

Screwfeeders

Control the flow

Our screwfeeder range is engineered to simplify the feeding of dry bulk materials into any conveyor in the Floveyor range. A screwfeeder is an extremely reliable and economical solution in applications calling for:

a controlled flow without measured output
a conveying system for materials with difficult flow characteristics
controlled batch feeding

Floveyor screwfeeders ability to run at variable speeds allows the system to regulate material infeed required in certain applications. They can be configured for maximum flexibility to suit site specifications, and allow the Floveyor to operate in start-stop applications, including dosing operations controlled by level sensors or PLCs.

Bulk Bag Screwfeeder

Make the tough choice

Floveyor’s bulk bag screwfeeder range has been specifically designed for remote storage of powdered or granular products. Built tough from galvanised, stainless or painted mild steel, it can withstand the rigours of remote site installations equipped for materials handling in harsh environmental and operational conditions.

The bulk bag screwfeeder accommodates all common bulk bag sizes. It has a standard Hopper storage capacity for a cubic meter of product and can be adapted for unloading of either disposable or reusable FIBC’s/ bulk bags.

Floveyor’s trademark design versatility means the bulk bag screwfeeder can be configured with a range of accessories including dust containment and level sensors. It can also provide remote storage with automatic refilling of an intermediate hopper via screw feeder and Floveyor transfer systems.

Bulk Bag Discharges

Trust our 'empty' promises

Floveyor’s range of technically innovative Flexible Intermediate Bulk Containers (FIBC) discharges is the optimal high performance solution for bulk bag unloading.

Our versatile FIBC debagging systems have evolved to match the revolutionary shift in materials handling technologies required for efficient bulk bag handling. Designed to integrate seamlessly with any Floveyor aero-mechanical conveyor, screwfeeder or simple transition hopper, our systems promote the flow of difficult products and provide safe, ergonomic conditions for operators. We have minimised dust and spillage by simplifying access for bag tying, untying and removal. We can also install dust extraction connections or inclusive systems.

Floveyor bulk bag dischargers are designed to provide complete solutions to your specific needs. We offer:

Frame configurations to suit:

single or dual bulk bag solutions
electric hoist and trolley solutions
loading and unloading via forklift
simple support frames for ‘hold in place’ bags during unloading

Raw product conditioning systems including:

a variety of bag conditioners from massaging pads to vibrators
a range of lump breakers, magnetic separators, and grids

Lump Breaker

Promote the flow

Floveyor’s sleek, versatile lump breaker provides an effortless solution to the perennial challenge of preconditioning raw materials prone to clumping and lumping. This easily installed unit reduces compacted materials to flow promoting proportions for efficient problem free conveying.

Our commitment to simple, safe, versatile design means the lump breaker works effectively in fixed and mobile installations and across a range of applications including bulk bag decanting and container transfer.

While the Floveyor lump breaker leads in the clump challenged sugar industry, it currently processes a plethora of products including salt, chemicals, minerals, limestone and many more.

Bag Dump Station

Done and Dusted

Floveyor’s bag dump stations (manual dumping stations) range in complexity according to our customer’s needs. We can supply:

Fully enclosed dust hoods to create the safely sealed environment required for highly hygroscopic or hazardous materials and hygienic installations
Efficient dust hoods fitted to the bag dump station, which can be connected to either plant dust extraction or a standalone unit. This will suppress dust from the de-bagging process, prevent waste and spillage and contribute to a safe working environment
A simple loading ledge and splashguard to operate with or without a locally installed plant dust extraction hood. This is an economical option for low dust producing applications

Our dump stations cut material waste and guard against plant contamination by contributing to a clean site. They can also be configured to include a range of complimentary additions: CIP systems, dehumidified air or nitrogen purging, glove boxes, bag compactors and belt feeders.

Magnetic Grates

Iron out contamination

Adding a magnetic grate to the Floveyor’s infeed hopper or discharge chute provides additional protection against ferrous metal contamination in free flowing products.

This simple, cost effective measure protects product integrity and prevents damage to processing equipment.

Floveyor are pioneers in electromagnetic detection technology embedded in the Floveyor Rope Assemblies to help eliminate contamination within the process line. The high powered magnets in our grates are fully encapsulated in stainless steel tubing to create a strong magnetic field along each tube. We supply a range of application specific styles and strengths and recommend periodic testing to evaluate magnetic performance.

Diverter Valves

Go any way

Our two and three way diverter valves are a simple solution for discharging materials from the Floveyor to multiple destinations.

This piece of robust reliable equipment runs flawlessly day in day out. While the three way diverter operates pneumatically, the two way diverter can run manually, pneumatically or via electric actuators.
The diverter valve can be a simple addition to the standard Floveyor headchute. It can also be added to the transition of an inline tube dropout or a standalone installation.
