Flexco recently added the DRX 4500 to its line of impact beds and skirting systems. By utilizing Velocity Reduction Technology, this new model gives heavy-duty belt conveyor systems the ability to withstand impact energy from 1500 to 4500 lb.-ft. (200 to 600 kg\/m).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe DRX 4500 is set to make a major impact on our partners in the heavy-duty mining sector,\u201d said Flexco Product Manager Kevin Fales.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMost impact beds on the market stop their guarantee of impact energy at around 2000 lb.-ft. Not only has Flexco been the first major player in this space to commit to a 3000 lb.-ft. rating, but the DRX 4500 now blows past that mark with 4500 lb.-ft. Rest assured, when you choose to use a Flexco impact bed, it\u2019s not a guess as to whether you will be able consistently handle loading onto your conveyor belt, it\u2019s a promise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flexco officials noted that prospective customers should utilize the Flexco Impact Bed Calculator to determine if the DRX 4500 is ideal for use in a specific application. By entering data like current belt width, drop height, and other key pieces of information, operators can see which impact beds provide the best protection for their belt conveyor system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sites can expect to use the DRX 4500 for belt speeds up to 1000 fpm (5 m\/sec), operate within temperatures ranging from -40\u00b0 to 180\u00b0F (-40\u00b0 to 82\u00b0C), and work with belt widths measuring 36 to 96 inches (1050 to 2400 mm). The DRX 4500 is available in 5-ft. (1500 mm) bed lengths as well as in troughing angles from 20- and 35-degrees, giving users a multitude of options that help to contain dust and loose sediment dispersion at the load zone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
