General Information | Theory of Operation

The Powerflow round bottom conveyor is an addition to our highly popular and successful line of Powerflow En-Masse Conveyors. The Powerflow round bottom offers some features not available in other styles of conveyors. The reason most often given for choosing a round bottom style conveyor is cleanout. The close tolerance in the standard contour tail section and the fit of the flights in the trough ensure the minimum amount of material left in the housing between batches of material.

It is the intention of this section to familiarize the reader with the system in general and highlight the various components available to match your installation requirements. A simplified engineering section is included to evaluate conveyor performance but is very limited in its scope. The wide variety of materials, capacities, wear factors and feeding arrangements can have a large effect on conveyor and drive selections. We ask that you discuss your system requirements with us so we may suggest an arrangement best suited to your needs.
