About Screw Conveyor

Screw conveyor is one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to bulk material handling. It is a very versatile machine that can handle a wide variety of materials: from dry, free-flowing materials to wet and slow materials. A screw conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating auger flight, usually within a U-shaped Trough, Rectangular Trough, Tubular Trough, or Jacketed Trough to handle liquid ,powder and granular materials.

Screw conveyors primarily consist of a rotating screw shaft that is installed within a trough. As the screw shaft rotates, the material moves linearly. They can be designed to provide horizontal, vertical, and inclined travel paths. Uses of Shaft less Screw Conveyors as well can be seen in many Industries

Advanced Customization for Diverse Applications

Each screw conveyor is tailored precisely to the client's process needs, offering flexible choices in screw diameter, length, feeding and discharge types, capacity, and structure. Whether you require a U-shaped or tubular housing, open or closed trough, or a specific material like mild steel or polished stainless steel, our solutions adapt to the most demanding environments. Enhanced corrosion and abrasion resistance further extend lifespan, while removable covers allow easy cleaning.

Flexible Installation and Drive Options

Our conveyors are engineered for horizontal, inclined, or vertical mounting, supported by both direct coupled and chain & sprocket drive systems. You can select a vertical screw conveyor configuration for specialized vertical handling when required. Motors from leading brands ensure dependable performance, while the customizable power range suits a broad spectrum of industrial settings. Optional speed adjustment from 20 to 90 RPM caters to unique flow and processing requirements.

Applications Across Industries

With load capacities from 100 Kg/hr to over 5000 Kg/hr, our screw conveyors move powders, granules, grains, food ingredients, chemicals, and more. They create dust-free environments and support hygienic processes, making them ideal for industries demanding stringent cleanliness and efficiency. The industrial paint or polished stainless steel surface choices meet both functional and aesthetic requirements.

FAQ's of Screw Conveyor:

Q: How can I customize a screw conveyor to fit my specific process requirements?

A: Our screw conveyors are fully customizable regarding diameter (100 mm to 600 mm), length (up to 20 meters or more), feeding/discharge types, capacity, material, and mounting. You can specify preferences for trough cover type, inlet/outlet design, surface finish (painted or polished stainless steel), and even request high-temperature construction or vertical configuration for specialized applications.

Q: What materials can be processed using this screw conveyor?

A: These conveyors handle a wide range of bulk materials, including powders, granules, grains, cement, chemicals, food ingredients, and pharmaceuticals. The choice of stainless steel or mild steel options ensures suitability for both hygienic and heavy-duty material transport, meeting requirements in various industry sectors.

Q: When should a vertical screw conveyor be considered?

A: A vertical screw conveyor is recommended when you need to transport materials upwards in confined spaces or to higher elevations. This can be designed upon request and is ideal for applications where traditional horizontal or inclined conveyors are impractical, such as feeding silos or elevated bins.

Q: Where can the screw conveyor be installed within a facility?

A: Our screw conveyors support installation in horizontal, inclined, or vertical orientations. This flexibility allows placement anywhere material handling is needed-such as beneath silos, alongside production lines, or within plant layouts requiring elevation changes. Customizable mounting ensures compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Q: What are the benefits of using an open or closed trough design?

A: Open troughs provide easy access for inspection and cleaning, making them suitable for less dusty or easy-flowing materials. Closed troughs, along with removable or hinged covers, offer dust-free conveying and protect materials from contamination, which is essential for food, pharmaceuticals, or hazardous substances.

Q: How is maintenance ensured for these screw conveyors?

A: Removable and hinged trough covers facilitate easy access for cleaning and maintenance. Corrosion and abrasion resistant surface treatments extend service intervals, while the robust design and branded motor systems guarantee reliability and reduced downtime, thus lowering overall maintenance requirements.

Q: What is the typical process for ordering and installation?

A: You begin by specifying your operational requirements-length, capacity, feeding/discharge type, motor brand, and any customization needs. Our engineering team collaborates with you to design and manufacture the optimal screw conveyor, and once delivered, installation support is available to integrate the conveyor seamlessly into your facility.
