A new stand-alone dust collector from Flexicon removes
airborne dust from upstream processes and discharges it
into containers positioned below the collection hopper,
protecting operators, improving plant hygiene and
eliminating material waste. The housing is equipped with
a 15mm diameter side inlet port, dual filter cartridges, a
1.5 kW fan motor, a 70-litre collection hopper with flanged
slide gate valve and automated controls. Any upstream
process that generates dust can be vented to the system
through hard piping or a flexible connection, drawing dust
onto dual filter cartridges. At timed intervals, an automatic
reverse-pulse filter cleaning system releases short
blasts of compressed plant air inside the filters, causing
dust build-up on the outer filter surfaces to fall into the
hopper. Because the filters are blasted alternately at
timed intervals with adjustable force, operation of the dust
collection system is both continuous and efficient. The
system’s stainless steel housing and support structure,
together with water-resistant controls and wash-downduty
fan motor, allow rapid cleaning or sanitising of the
entire unit between product runs.

SPECIALISED ISO-FLO
VIBRATORY CONVEYOR
Key Technology presents a specialised Iso-Flo vibratory conveyor
designed specifically for integration with a metal detector to inspect bulk
foods on processing and packaging distribution lines. Compared with
traditional plastic or fabric belt conveyor systems integrated with metal
detectors, Key’s vibratory solutions reduce maintenance and minimise
product spillage while dramatically improving sanitation to maximise food
safety. Recently upgraded with the latest sanitary design features, this
unique vibratory conveyor combines three conveyor bed sections – a
stainless steel infeed, a non-metallic section that passes through the
metal detector’s aperture and a final stainless steel section with a reject
device. Key designs each system to accommodate the customer’s preferred
metal detector and aperture size.
