Screw Conveyor

Reliable Helical Transport for Bulk Material Handling

Our Screw Conveyor, is a highly efficient mechanical system designed to move liquid, granular, or semi-solid materials. By utilizing a rotating helical screw blade—known as "flighting"—within a fixed trough or tube, this system provides a controlled and continuous flow of material, making it a cornerstone of modern industrial waste management and processing.

Key Features:

  • Helical Flighting: Features a precision-engineered spiral blade coiled around a central shaft for smooth material propulsion.

  • Controlled Flow Rate: The volume of material transferred is directly proportional to the rotation speed of the shaft, allowing for precise metering and dosing.

  • Versatile Configuration: Designed for inclined, or vertical transport to fit into diverse plant layouts and architectural constraints.

  • Enclosed Design: Most units are housed within a sealed trough or tube, which contains dust, prevents spills, and manages odors effectively.

  • Robust Construction: Fabricated from high-strength Mild Steel or Stainless Steel to withstand abrasive materials and heavy daily use.

  • Customizable Pitches: Screw flights can be adjusted (standard, short, or tapered) to handle materials of varying densities and viscosities.

How It Works:

  1. Intake: Bulk material is fed into the inlet of the conveyor trough.

  2. Rotation: A powerful motor-driven gearbox rotates the internal helical screw.

  3. Propulsion: As the screw turns, the spiral flighting pushes the material forward along the length of the trough in a consistent straight path.

  4. Discharge: The material reaches the outlet at the opposite end, where it is transferred to the next stage of processing or into a collection bin.

Benefits

  1. Maximum Efficiency: Provides a steady, automated flow of materials, significantly reducing the need for manual handling and labor.

  2. Space-Saving Footprint: Its compact, linear design allows it to be installed in tight spaces where traditional belt conveyors cannot fit.

  3. Operational Reliability: With few moving parts, screw conveyors offer long-term service with minimal maintenance requirements.

  4. Hygienic Handling: The enclosed nature of the system is ideal for moving food waste or organic matter without exposing the workspace to contamination.

  5. Multi-Material Capability: Effectively handles everything from fine powders and cereal grains to wet food waste and industrial aggregates.
