Screw Conveyor

The low-profile flexible screw conveyor positions the motor drive at the inlet end of the conveyor tube, allowing the discharge end to fit within limited headroom areas. The enclosed, dust-free conveyor can move material vertically, horizontally or at most angles, through small holes in walls or ceilings. It can handle products ranging from sub-micron powders to large pellets, including those that pack, cake, plug, seize, smear or fluidize, with no separation of blended products, the co. says.

The only moving part that contacts material is a flexible inner screw, which is said to maximize reliability while reducing maintenance. The removable screw and tube interior are smooth and crevice-free. The conveyor is offered in diameters ranging from 25/8 to 8 in., in stationary and mobile configurations.
