The Tiltable AFC SPIRALFEEDER makes it possible to move a tall screw conveyor from one area in the plant to another area quickly, safely and easily. At the press of a button, the entire powder transfer system automatically tilts down to lower the height enough to fit through standard-height doorways.

For this private label personal care product manufacturer, AFC helped replace cumbersome, dusty, manual powder transfer steps with a series of automated AFC Spiralfeeder screw conveyors for a cleaner, smoother, more efficient powder conveying process.

AFC engineers custom-designed a “truly dust-free” bulk material handling system for the earth-friendly manufacturer Uncle Harry’s Natural Products that integrated a bulk bag unloader with the AFC Spiralfeeder for seamless transfer of bentonite clay. The sanitary automated powder handling solution eliminated dust from the workplace and accelerated production while fitting into a tight footprint.

At Joint Base McGuire-Dix in Lakehurst, New Jersey, AFC designed dual processing lines for a new water treatment plant featuring AFC Dump-Clean bag break stations and AFC Spiralfeeder screw conveyors for transferring powdered lime automatically.
