Conveyor Screw

Conveyor screws are helical mechanical devices designed to transport dry bulk materials horizontally, vertically, or at an inclined angle via continuous rotational movement in an enclosed trough or tube system. In logistics operations, conveyor screws contribute to variations in material handling efficiencies, and in cases of bulk materials transported through manufacturing plants, grain processing plants, and chemical manufacturing, consistent flow was critical to maintaining production levels and product quality, as well as mitigating contamination. By far the three largest material usage areas for conveyor screws are the agricultural industry in grain handling, the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry with powder transport, and cement manufacturing, where bulk materials are withheld without complex pneumatic systems or numerous transfer points. The helical flight design is precision machined, while the shaft is of robust construction, and the use of sealed bearing assemblies will promote consistent flow and provide reliability while in harsh industrial conditions or with abrasive materials. The advancement of screw geometries has allowed conveyor screws to provide maximum material displacement or minimal segregation of materials at controlled conveying speeds and gentle handling attributes suitable for fragile or temperature-sensitive products, while further improving configurations to convey multiple material types over varying lengths, through or with customised flight layouts, trough styles, and drive mechanisms for specified material handling attributes, and layout restrictions in the facility.
