What is a Screw Conveyor?
Screw conveyors are mechanical conveying systems that provide efficient transportation of small particle materials such as dust, granules, sawdust, sand and similar in industrial facilities. These closed-structure conveyors prevent material loss and allow dust-free transportation.
Working Principle
Screw conveyors operate with the movement of a helix structure wrapped around a rotating shaft. Materials are pushed forward by the rotational movement of the helix wings. This process allows transportation in horizontal, inclined or vertical directions.
Sample Applications:
- Sawdust transportation systems in factories
- Grain and feed transportation in agricultural facilities
- Cement and sand transfer in the construction sector
Advantages
- Closed System Design: Provides dust-free, clean and safe transportation.
- High Efficiency: Provides maximum transportation capacity with minimum energy.
- Flexible Operation: It can carry horizontally, inclined and vertically.
- Long-Lasting Use: Its robust structure requires low maintenance.
Screw Conveyor Types
| Type | Description |
| Horizontal Screw | Ideal for horizontal transportation at surface level. |
| Vertical Screw | Used when it is necessary to carry materials to a height. |
| Inclined Screw | Allows materials to be carried at a certain incline. |
