In addition to reversing direction of the cable/disc assembly, the Drive System can be equipped with a cone discharge housing to serve as the final discharge point in a multi-discharge point system (shown) or as the only discharge point in a system.
FLEXI-DISC® Tubular Cable Conveyors
Handle Friable Materials Gently, Efficiently, Dust-Free
FLEXI-DISC® Tubular Cable Conveyors (also known as Disc Conveyors and Drag Conveyors) gently slide bulk materials through smooth stainless steel tubing using low-friction polymer discs attached to stainless steel cable. The discs and cable are driven by a wheel at one end of the circuit, and put under tension by a wheel at the other end. This design allows single or multiple inlets and outlets, and the routing of conveyor tubing horizontally, vertically or at any angle, through small holes in walls or ceilings. Because components are modular, inlets and outlets can be added, removed or relocated, and the circuit lengthened, shortened or re-routed as needs change.

TUBULAR DISCHARGE VALVES
Tubular Discharge Valves enable conveyor to dispense material dust-free at one or multiple locations.
DISC AND CABLE ASSEMBLY
4 and 6 in. (102 and 152 mm) diameter Discs of high-strength polymers on 304/316 Stainless Steel Cable glide within smooth stainless steel tubing, evacuating material and allowing thorough cleaning.
MATERIAL INLETS
Material Inlet Adapters shown below Drum Dumper and Bulk Bag Discharger promote controlled material flow.

AUTOMATIC CABLE TENSIONER
Automatic Cable Tensioner reverses the direction of the cable while imparting tension that keeps the cable taut throughout the conveyor circuit.
Materials ideally suited to FLEXI-DISC conveyors include virtually all dried beans, cereals, coffees, dried fruits, frozen vegetables, grains, nuts, pet foods, seeds, snack foods, dried spices, teas, and other fragile/friable food products. Typical non-foods include prills, pelletized products, and dried plant products such as tobacco or hemp. Go to expanded materials page
