Flexco Impact & Slider Beds
When it comes to load zones, Flexco impact and slider beds deliver the highest level of material containment and belt protection. They have been specially designed to control acceleration, deaden impact energy, reduce damaging vibrations, and extend belt life. But most of all, they have been engineered with unmatched serviceability with a slide-out service making maintenance efficient and safe for operators.
Success Story
South Australia Quarry Decreases Maintenance Time and Increases Productivity with Custom DRX4500 Impact Bed
PROBLEM
The original impact bed installed was not strong enough to support the extreme tonnages, damaging idler frames frequently, and creating mass spillage and constant belt replacements.
SOLUTION
As the impact energy was greater than the acceptable standard of the DRX300 Impact Bed, we designed and manufactured a custom DRX4500 Impact Bed in Australia.
RESULTS
The belt could now run 24/7 and the operation could perform planned maintenance and scheduled shutdowns, significantly increasing their output.

Modular beds are based on a 600 mm sectional footprint which allows you to control your impact zone design by using an all-bar section in high-impact areas and a slider impact section where you require lower impact resistance or sealing. When both styles are used together you can achieve ultimate performance in your load zone.
