Screw Conveyor

A screw conveyor is an inclined or horizontal mechanism that uses a rotating screw-like helical blade to move a range of materials from one location to another. Screw conveyors are commonly used in many industries as an efficient way to move raw materials, food products, chemicals, power and other materials over variable or long distances. The materials are conveyed along the axis of the screw conveyor as it rotates, with the rotation of the screw blade pushing the materials forward or pulling them along as needed. Screw conveyors can be used in a range of applications, including farming, mining, manufacturing, and food processing, and they are available in a variety of sizes and designs to accommodate specific material handling needs. The screws in screw conveyors come in different materials such as carbon steel, stainless steel or other alloys depending on the material being transported and the environmental conditions involved, to ensure durability and long-term performance.
