A Screw Conveyor is an efficient mechanical system used to transport bulk materials horizontally or at an incline using a rotating helical screw blade inside a trough or tube. It provides uniform and controlled material flow, making it ideal for handling powders, granules, and semi-solid materials in enclosed conditions.
Structure & Drive
The system consists of a helical screw blade (flight) mounted on a rotating shaft enclosed in a tubular or U-shaped casing. The drive system includes an electric motor and gearbox that rotate the screw, propelling materials along the trough while preventing spillage and contamination.
Key Features
- Enclosed design prevents dust and contamination
- Handles powders, grains, and semi-solid materials
- Customizable length, pitch, and diameter
- Simple, reliable, and low-maintenance operation
- Can be horizontal, inclined, or vertical
Typical Applications
Used in food, chemical, cement, fertilizer, and pharmaceutical industries for transporting dry bulk materials such as flour, sand, cement, or granules.
