1 / 7Screw Conveyor
Conveying SystemsProduct Introduction
Our Screw Conveyor is a highly efficient and versatile bulk material handling solution that uses a rotating helical screw blade to move powders, granules, and semi-solid materials horizontally, at an incline, or vertically. Widely used in food, chemical, pharmaceutical, and agricultural industries for reliably transferring materials between processing stages without spillage.
What This Machine Does
This horizontal packing machine wraps individual products in film using a flow-wrap technique. Products are conveyed horizontally, wrapped in film, and sealed on three sides for clean, tight packaging.
Products You Can Make
This machine is designed to process and package a wide range of products:

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can a screw conveyor handle sticky or wet materials?
A: Yes, with modified blade profile (short pitch, paddle, or cut-and-fold design) and non-stick surface finish, screw conveyors handle moist, sticky, and semi-solid products like wet cake, paste, and mash.
Q: What is the maximum inclination angle?
A: Standard screw conveyors work efficiently up to 20° inclination. With modified pitch and shrouded design, they can operate at up to 45°. For vertical conveying, an enclosed vertical screw (screw pump) configuration is used.
Q: What is the production capacity of the Screw Conveyor?
A: The Screw Conveyor is available in multiple capacity configurations to match your production requirements. Contact our engineering team for customized capacity specifications and throughput details.
Q: What are the power requirements for the Screw Conveyor?
A: Power requirements vary based on the specific model and capacity selected. Our Screw Conveyor models are designed for energy-efficient operation. Contact us for detailed electrical specifications for your chosen configuration.
