- Able to control the flow of material in processing operations which depend upon accurate batching
- Versatile and can be employed in horizontal, inclined and vertical installations.
- Can be used as a mixer or agitator to blend dry or fluid ingredients, provide crystallization or coagulant action, or maintain solutions in suspension.
- Can be sealed to prevent the escape of dust or fumes from inside the conveyor; or prevent dust contamination from outside the conveyor.
- Can be jacketed to serve as a drier or cooler by running hot or cold water through the jacket.
- Made out of a variety of materials to resist corrosion, abrasion or heat, depending upon the product being conveyed.
