Screw Conveyor

Listing ID #4904488

Shafted Screw Conveyors are used in thousands of industrial applications every day for efficiently conveying a variety of bulk materials. A screw conveyor’s main function is to transfer bulk materials from one process to another. Screw conveyors are very cost-effective and require minimal maintenance to operate.

• Ideal for handling dry to semi-fluid materials
  – free-flowing to sluggish
• Cost-effective when compared to other conveying devices such as belt, pneumatic or aero-mechanical conveyors
• Efficiently distributes bulk materials to various locations using multiple inlet and discharge points
• Totally enclosed for corrosive or hazardous requirements

Devcon Screw Conveyors are available in many configurations. Screw Conveyors are designed based on industry standards and are modular in construction providing flexibility for a variety of applications.

Screw Conveyors can be operated with the flow of material inclined upward. When space allows, this is a very economical method of elevating and conveying. As the angle of inclination increases, the capacity of a given unit rapidly decreases.

The rotating part of the conveyor is sometimes called simply an auger.
