Dynamic processing environments call for equipment that adapts in real time. FPEC’s pivoting screw conveyor is engineered to give processors greater control over product placement by enabling directional changes without interrupting flow. It delivers the same precision and reliability of a traditional screw conveyor but is enhanced with maneuverability that serves multi-discharge or multi-phase systems.
When you need flexibility without compromising feed rate or consistency, this is the solution designed to meet both goals.
Engineered Mobility for Modern Food Facilities
Your production isn't static. Your conveyor shouldn’t be either.
FPEC’s pivoting screw conveyor is designed for facilities that require directional control within tight footprints or between variable production stages. The pivoting function enables product discharge to one or more drop points from a single conveyor, helping operators manage line shifts or ingredient sequencing with speed and precision.
Our engineers build each system around your plant’s specifications. We factor in spatial restrictions, desired angles of motion, sanitation requirements, and product characteristics. From marinated proteins to ground product, the conveyor moves material accurately while offering the freedom to pivot between equipment as needed.
The result is a streamlined process that doesn’t sacrifice output for flexibility.
System Feature for Flexible, Targeted Product Transfer
Built for rugged use and precise motion, FPEC’s pivoting screw conveyor is equipped with configurable features that prioritize both performance and plant safety. Each system is constructed to withstand high-volume applications while offering easy adjustability and cleanability.
Standard specifications and available configurations include:
- Fully customized solutions for screw conveyors
- Large capacity or specialty in-feed hoppers available
- Up to 30″ diameter augers
- Hydraulic or electric gear motors
- Direct or chain drive
- Power pivot gives the flexibility of using one screw conveyor to load two machines
- Open channel design
- Polished or bead blast finish
- Integrated or standalone controls
- All controls UL-listed and built in-house
- 100% stainless steel fabrication
Whether you’re filling multiple blenders, staging ingredients for batching, or alternating between processing lines, the pivoting screw conveyor allows for efficient routing with minimal operator intervention. Its controlled pivot range and programmable settings make it a powerful tool for complex layouts.
Every FPEC pivoting screw conveyor is engineered to match your product flow, pivot frequency, and sanitation protocols.
