Customized screw conveyors, even for high capacities, are tailored solutions for the continuous transport of bulk materials, powders, granules, or semi-liquids. Operating on the principle of Archimedes' screw, a rotating screw moves materials inside a casing.
Key features of customized screw conveyors:
Custom design:
Made to fit specific requirements: material type, capacity, length, inclination, and environmental conditions.
Can handle horizontal, inclined, or vertical transport.
High capacity:
Can manage capacities ranging from a few m³/h to over 500 m³/h.
Reinforced structures for durability, even with abrasive or heavy materials.
Materials:
Built from carbon steel or stainless steel AISI 304/316 for corrosion resistance and hygiene (ideal for food or chemical industries).
Anti-wear and anti-adhesive surface treatments as needed.
Configurations:
Full spiral or ribbon screw.
Shaftless designs, ideal for fibrous or sticky materials.
Cooling or heating jackets for temperature control.
Accessories:
Loading/unloading hoppers, dust covers, inspection ports, and integrated cleaning systems.
Motorized systems with inverters for adjustable speed.
Applications:
Food industry: flour, sugar, cereals.
Chemical/pharmaceutical: reactive powders, additives.
Waste treatment: wet or fibrous materials.
Construction/mining: cement, sand, gravel.
Agriculture: animal feed, by-products.
Advantages:
Efficient continuous transport.
Compact design, saving space.
Low maintenance and easy installation.
Integration with existing automation systems.
