Screw Conveyors: Efficient & Reliable Material Handling Solutions

Screw conveyors, also known as auger conveyors or spiral conveyors, offer a highly efficient and versatile method for transporting a wide range of bulk materials. These robust machines utilize a rotating helical screw blade within a trough to move materials horizontally, inclined, or even vertically. Our screw conveyors are engineered for durability, ease of maintenance, and optimal performance across various industries.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Versatile Material Handling: Handle a wide variety of materials, including powders, granules, flakes, chips, and small solids. Suitable for both dry and slightly moist materials. Material types can range from abrasive to delicate, depending on the chosen configuration.
• Gentle Material Handling: Minimize material degradation and damage, making them ideal for sensitive products. The rotating screw gently moves the material, reducing breakage and attrition.
• Efficient & Cost-Effective: High throughput capacity with low energy consumption, resulting in significant operational cost savings compared to other conveying methods.
• Customizable Design: Available in a wide range of sizes, materials of construction (stainless steel, carbon steel, etc.), and configurations to meet specific application requirements. Options include:
  • Horizontal: For level transportation.
  • Inclined: For elevating material at a controlled angle.
  • Vertical: For lifting material vertically.
  • U-shaped troughs: For conveying in a loop, often used in closed system applications.
  • Various screw flight designs: Optimized for specific material types and handling characteristics.
• Easy Maintenance & Cleaning: Modular design allows for quick and easy access to components for maintenance and cleaning. Easy disassembly for thorough cleaning, vital for sanitary applications.
• Durable Construction: Built from high-quality materials to withstand harsh operating conditions and provide long service life. Options available for corrosion resistance in demanding environments.
• Precise Material Control: The screw speed can be precisely controlled to regulate the rate of material flow.

Applications:

Screw conveyors find extensive use across numerous industries, including:

• Food Processing: Handling grains, powders, and other food products.
• Chemical Processing: Conveying powders, granules, and other chemical substances.
• Pharmaceutical: Gentle handling of pharmaceutical ingredients.
• Plastics & Recycling: Processing plastic pellets and recycled materials.
• Wastewater Treatment: Handling sludge and other waste materials.
• Agriculture: Moving grains, feedstuffs, and other agricultural products.

Specifications (Varied based on model):

• Capacity: Ranges from a few cubic meters per hour to several hundred, depending on the size and design.
• Power: Wide range of motor options available to match the required capacity and application.
• Materials of Construction: Stainless steel (various grades), carbon steel, galvanized steel, and others.
• Length: Customizable to fit specific applications.
• Diameter: Various diameters available to handle different material volumes.
