A. FlexMAX® Overview:
The FlexMAX comes in several configurations to meet your specific material handling
needs. We have three standard auger profiles, and four standard sizes which are the
3”, 4”, 5” and 6” casing and auger. Larger units can be built as customs. They have
304SS auger material and FDA approved UHMW flexible casings. The rounded
FastFLO™ hopper corners are designed to prevent material build up and bridging.
The FlexMAX® conveyor can be easily disassembled and cleaned. Standard hopper
sizes are 4, 8, and 12 ft3 and have FastFLO™ rounded corners, 60 Degree hopper
walls and 2B finish. The feed hoppers are available with different configurations or
sizes upon request.

b. Augers and Casings Several auger sizes and profiles are available and the best one for your application is
determined by detailed product characteristics and process requirements. We will
evaluate and test your material to determine the final auger required to meet your
project needs.
Casings made from White FDA approved UHMW PE
material
Sizes 3,4,5,6” effective diameters
Round, flat and beveled edge flat augers are typical for
most applications
