For Lots Of Turns, Sharper
Corners, Greater Lengths
MULTIPLEX is a new innovation using the same high
tensile strength steel auger as on our famous FLEX
AUGER. But, instead of rotating the auger, a MULTIPLEX
system propels it within the tube. This sliding of the steel
auger means there can be more corners and sharper
corners in a system.
There’s an added bonus in energy savings: while FLEX
AUGER beats the competition in energy-efficiency, our new
MULTIPLEX saves even more energy.
