Pneuvay Engineering’s Heliflow is an ideal means of conveying powders and granules from a hopper. It operates by means of an open pitch spring which rotates within a flexible nylon tube. This spring is directly connected to a motor (attached at the discharge end). The product in the hopper is loaded into the hopper where it flows into the path of the helix. This then conveys the product along the length of the tube.
Pneuvay Engineering’s Heliflow is constructed as a whole unit and is designed to allow companies enormous flexibility for conveying materials. It has the ability to convey product both vertically and horizontally at the same time.
Companies typically use Heliflows to control the flow of material in processing operations. Alternatively, the heliflow can also be used as a mixer, agitator or stirrer to mix and blend dry or fluid materials during conveying.
Pneuvay Engineering’s Heliflow is a very attractive alternative to cumbersome screw conveyors.
The features of Pneuvay Engineering’s Heliflow are;
· Extremely flexible - allows product to be conveyed vertically, horizontally, or any point in between
· No air used - therefore, no filters required
· No separation of mixed materials
· Occupies minimal floor space
· Simple to install
· Low noise levels
· Dust-free conveying
· Low energy requirement
· Sturdy construction
· Competitively priced
