Bulk material handling and processing is a part of many industries including food, pharmaceutical, nuclear, cement, agriculture, plastics, and mineral processing etc. Apart from manual handling, various conventional conveyor systems, viz. screw conveyors, bucket elevators, pneumatic conveyors etc. are being used for bulk material feeding/handling for different industrial processes. However, flexible conveyors offer specific advantages for transport of materials in a process layout requiring flexibility, containment of activity and flexibility. In this paper, the material flow behavior in a flexible spring conveyor suitable for transport of active materials has been studied. Experiments on the flexible spring conveyor system have been conducted by rotating the spring element at different speeds and inclination angles. The variation in material flow rate and power requirement as a function of different parameters have been studied in order to evaluate the performance of the conveyor.
