Screw conveyor systems are particularly efficient where only limited installation space is available on the processing machine. The system is used either as a wet or dry conveyor for short, crushed chips or granulate. It is also used in central systems as a screw pre-separator for chips.
The screw conveyor is a specialized transport system that is configured as a single conveyor, with a container or as an integral part of a system. The system serves as a wet or dry conveyor for short, crushed chips or granulate and is used in central systems as a screw pre-separator for chips. This versatility ensures maximum flexibility to meet future requirements.
Bulk materials or sludge from processing machines are continuously transported horizontally or upwards using the screw conveyors - with minimum space requirements.
The system is suitable for direct use on the processing machine as well as in various environmental technology areas for transporting bulk materials.
The screw conveyor is available both with and without a core. This means that the coreless conveyor systems have no central drive shaft and consist solely of the screw in the form of a spiral. Screw conveyors with a core, on the other hand, have a drive shaft inside the screw. This is precisely designed to suit the process and the length of the screw conveyor.
The screws are specially hardened and armored as required, especially for applications with abrasive goods or materials. To reduce wear to a minimum, the system is made of stainless steel, steel or with special plastic coatings.
The drive units are sealed so that no fluid can leak out when the system is used wet.
If required, the screws can be equipped with a rotation monitor, which stops the conveyor in the event of a blockage and protects the screw from damage. Safety for your process is our top priority.
Technical details:
The screw conveyor is characterized by its exceptional durability and long service life. You benefit from outstanding process reliability, high machine availability and a short amortization period, as the system works reliably over a long period of time. Thanks to the long service life, the systems are particularly sustainable and have a positive environmental footprint.
The screw conveyor is highly wear-resistant, so you benefit from the system's low maintenance requirements. Your personnel costs and machine downtimes are significantly reduced. At the same time, the system has a very maintenance and service-friendly design and is easily accessible, meaning that maintenance work can be carried out easily by trained personnel.
Wherever very small chips and bulk material are discharged from the processing machine.
Sealless systems are particularly suitable when a long chip enters the machine.
