FlexLink has released its new X65 conveyor platform designed for lower friction, reduced power consumption and sustainability.

Depending on the application and choice of the drive unit, power consumption is 8-44 per cent less compared to previous drive units from FlexLink.

Goran Abbestam, product manager, FlexLink says, “The doubled conveyor strength has a dramatic effect on the service life and maintenance intervals of systems installed. In addition, the layouts can be made simpler as fewer drives and transfers are required for a given layout due to the increased maximum conveyor length. To the user, this has a substantial, positive impact with less complexity and a lower cost of installation.”

The development of the X65 conveyor platform was done with input from leading end users and OEMs to meet the requirements of tomorrow, while offering added value to the needs of today.

FlexLink says the X65 has a speed of 120m/min, double that of the previous conveyor generations and has a lower noise level.

“Throughout the development work, our main focus has been on reducing the total cost of ownership for the conveyor equipment, from the engineering and ramp-up to the end of the investment. The drastically cut power consumption and office like noise level brings measureable value from day one. Our aim was to give our customers trouble free operation with the X65 conveyor, and I am confident we have combined it with a high value added as well,” concludes Abbestam.

FlexLink will be displaying this product at Auspack Plus to be held at the Sydney Showground, Sydney Olympic Park from May 7-10.
