Screw Conveyor

Product Description

A screw conveyor is a mechanical conveying system used to move bulk materials from one point to another using a rotating helical screw bladecalled a flightinghoused inside a tube or trough. As the screw rotates, it pushes material forward through the enclosure in a controlled and continuous manner.

Key Features

• Helical Screw (Flighting): The central rotating shaft with spiraled plates that propel material.

• Trough or Casing: Encloses the screw to contain material and guide movement.

• Drive System: Motor and gearbox that rotate the screw at a controlled speed.

• Inlet and Outlet Points: Openings where material enters and exits the conveyor.

How It Works

1. Material enters through the inlet.

2. The motor rotates the screw.

3. The helical motion moves material along the trough.

4. Material discharges at the outlet.
