Introduction
Are you looking for an efficient, cost-effective
way to transport materials such as powders,
grains, and pellets? A screw conveyor may be the
perfect solution. With its simple design and easy
maintenance requirements, a screw conveyor is one
of the most commonly used pieces of equipment
in the industrial sector. But what exactly is a
screw conveyor and how does it work? A screw
conveyor or auger conveyor is a mechanism that
uses a rotating helical screw blade, called a
"flighting", usually within a tube, to move
liquid or granular materials.

Types of Screw Conveyors
Horizontal screw conveyors
Horizontal screw conveyors have become
indispensable in a wide range of industries,
thanks to their ability to efficiently transport
bulk materials. Designed with an enclosed shaft
containing rotating helical blades, these
versatile machines cater to diverse applications,
such as agriculture, food processing, and waste
management. As the screw rotates, it moves
materials smoothly and uniformly along a
horizontal path, minimizing material degradation
and ensuring a constant throughput. Additional
benefits of horizontal screw conveyors include
their ability to handle robust materials
and their low power consumption, making them a
cost-effective solution.
Inclined screw
conveyors
Inclined screw conveyors Offering an angled
approach to the conveyance of materials, these
systems utilize a rotating helical blade within a
tubular housing known as the conveyor trough to
move materials from a lower to a higher
elevation. With their impressive versatility in
terms of application and adaptability, inclined
screw conveyors have become an indispensable
asset in a multitude of industries, including
agriculture, construction, and pharmaceuticals.
Not only do these conveyors provide an
energy-efficient and cost-effective means
of material transportation, but their robust,
dependable design also ensures minimal downtime
and maintenance needs.

Shaftless screw
conveyors
Shaftless screw conveyors represent a
groundbreaking innovation in bulk
material handling, known for their efficiency,
durability and ease of maintenance. By
eliminating the need for a central shaft, these
conveyors drastically reduce the risk of clogging
and entanglement, ultimately increasing
productivity and minimizing downtime.
Designed with a continuous helical screw free
from hangers or bearings, shaftless screw
conveyors effortlessly handle various types of
materials from wet, sticky substances to dry
and abrasive granules.
Vertical screw
conveyors
Vertical screw conveyors are a reliable,
cost-effective way to move items between two
levels. Their efficient design allows for low
product degradation and damage during handling.
This versatile piece of equipment also allows for
up and down transportation as well as cooling
or heating of the product. Capable of being
configured to fit any individual production
line, vertical screw conveyors can be constructed
from stainless steel or other metals to
meet specific customer requirements.
Additionally, their compact size is useful in
space-restricted production lines where assembly
time must be minimized. Whether your
application requires a solution for bulk material
handling or multiple materials delivery, vertical
screw conveyors can reduce manufacturing costs
and maximize throughput across different processes
