FLIGHT DISTRIBUTION CONVEYOR
Evenly spaced. Precisely placed. Built for throughput.
The Flex-End system delivers sludge and bulk solids where you need them—angled, side-discharged, or directly into bins—with zero spillage and tight placement control.
Flight Distribution
The Serpentix Flight Distribution (FD) Conveyor, used in conjunction with our standard conveyors, or as a stand-alone unit, allows for material to be distributed over a large area with multiple exit points. This is the ideal solution for distributing waste material to multiple bins or truck beds and allows the end user to simply open or close the exit points as needed by way of the pneumatic slide-gate system.
- Distributes material to multiple exit points
- Reversible operation
- Low power requirements
- Low maintenance
- Quiet operation
- Modular design for future expansion
Applications
Sludge press feeding
Dewatering system discharge
Equal distribution into multiple bins or containers
Industrial solids leveling and filling
Applications
Engineered to handle sludge, screenings, and solids with precision, our systems streamline discharge, feeding, and bin filling across a wide range of industrial processes.

Flight Distribution Conveyor for Controlled Material Loading
Engineered to deliver uniform material distribution along the full length of transport vehicles through calibrated flight spacing, synchronized speed control, and precise discharge sequencing.
Engineered for Accuracy and Control
The Flight Distribution Conveyor ensures precise handling and even distribution of materials.
By using a series of flights attached to a continuous belt, it delivers consistent flow, minimizes spillage, and improves load balancing across multiple destinations. This controlled distribution prevents overloading, reduces equipment wear, and maximizes processing efficiency throughout your operation.
Even material loading prevents surge feeding, protects downstream equipment, and ensures optimal processing rates at each destination.
Efficiently feed several locations with one conveyor while maintaining precise volume control at each discharge point.
Flight design contains materials during transport, minimizing waste, reducing cleanup costs, and maintaining safer work environments.
