Flexicon’s bulk material handling systems are designed to address powder clumping, dust and plant layout constraints while maintaining efficiency and sanitation. The road to manufacturing is not easy. The food industry frequently encounters bulk solids that resist reliable flow – materials that pack, cake, compress, solidify, rat-hole, or agglomerate during storage, shipment, or processing. Common examples include starch, cake mix, brown sugar, cocoa powder, and various powder blends containing moisture, oil, or fat. These non-free-flowing ingredients often exhibit high angles of repose, leading to irregular discharge from bulk bags, silos, hoppers, or vessels. This results in inconsistent flow during weigh batching and packaging, reduced productivity, compromised batch accuracy, increased labour demands, and potential quality issues. Such challenges can undermine even well-designed processes, causing downtime, material waste, and cross-contamination risks in hygiene-critical ...
