Flexicon flexible screw conveyors and pneumatic conveying systems offer distinct differences in performance relative to specific application requirements. Since many plants convey a variety of bulk materials in a range of capacities over varying distances, a combination of pneumatic and flexible screw conveying is often recommended to maximize overall performance and return on investment.

To help you identify the conveyor(s) that may suit your needs, check the "conveyor characteristics" most important to you, at right.
