The Twistex® - The new rotor type activator for non-free flowing materials – with extendable and retractable discharge arms and electro-mechanical drive combination.

Twistex® provides optimal silo discharge of non-free flowing materials. The innovative design of the rotor-type activator combines the advantages of slewable discharge arms with an electro-mechanical drive. No need to install the usually required hydraulic components: the slewable discharge arms constantly move the material inside the silo, thus avoiding bridging and ensuring trouble-free silo discharge. The complete drive mechanism is installed inside the rotor casing for protection against wear and tear. Twistex is designed for easy maintenance.

Twistex® – a most economic solution for more efficiency and reliability when discharging non-free flowing materials. Based on more than 30 years of experience, the FLSmidth Twistex rotor-type activator has been developed, tested and proved in industrial practice.
