Screw (Auger) Conveyors
Screw conveyors move grain, feed, and similar bulk products horizontally or on an incline over short to medium distances. Their compact design allows easy installation in limited spaces and creates controlled product flow at fill, discharge, dosing, and process feed points. They can be engineered in different diameters, lengths, and capacities as required.
What Are Screw (Auger) Conveyors and How Do They Work?
In a screw conveyor, a rotating helical flight moves product through a tube or U-trough casing. The compact design offers a practical solution for short to medium-distance conveying, dosing, and machine feeding applications.
Key Features
- Horizontal or inclined conveying in compact spaces
- Tube-type, U-trough, and vertical application options
- Suitable for dosing and controlled feeding
- Available in different diameters, lengths, and capacities
Applications
- Silo discharge and fill points
- Process feeding in feed and flour mills
- Dosing and mixing lines
- Mobile or fixed product transfer applications
Integration with Plant and Automation Systems
Screw conveyors can connect directly to bunkers, silo slide gates, weighing units, mixers, and packaging machines.
Engineering and Product Selection
Product flowability, abrasiveness, line length, incline, and target throughput determine flight pitch, diameter, motor power, and casing type.
