Flexicon advanced the application of these conveyors faster and further, being the first to introduce 4-1/2 inch (115 mm), 6 inch (150 mm) and 8 inch (200 mm) diameter screw/tube combinations that elevated conveying capacity.
As the capabilities of its conveyors grew, so did the company’s expansion into pneumatic conveying systems and tubular cable conveyors, as well as upstream and downstream equipment including bulk bag dischargers, bulk bag fillers, bulk bag conditioners, bag dump stations, drum/box/container dumpers and weigh batching systems.
The company now offers quick-ship delivery on popular models of flexible screw conveyors, bulk bag dischargers and bulk bag conditioners, boasts more than 25,000 installations and offers a lifetime performance guarantee on equipment and systems.
In addition to stand-alone units, the company began engineering and manufacturing automated material handling systems complete with sophisticated control packages produced in-house for multi-point bulk storage, processing and packaging applications, many of which involve difficult-to-handle materials, sanitary requirements and explosive environments.
A separate project engineering division manages large-scale bulk handling projects across the chemical, mineral, food, dairy and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.
To meet demand for its full line of bulk handling equipment, the company has expanded its U.S. and overseas manufacturing operations 14 times, including the doubling of its world headquarters in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, in 2015.
Flexicon now holds 36 patents in 13 countries, operates manufacturing plants in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa, and maintains sales offices in France, Germany, Spain, Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia.
“We are extraordinarily proud of our history and our people whose inventiveness, skill and dedication have propelled our non-stop growth over the last 50 years,” said Gill.
