mechanical screw conveyor
Use screw conveyors in a cost-effective way, overcoming constraints imposed by an existing or evolving plant
Dust sealing
Special system to reduce manual adjustments, minimize powder leaks
and grant an efficient dust protection of the thrust
bearing units
FDA Approved Food Grade Lubricants
For long screw conveyors, over 4-5 metres, the intermediate support is made of
a self-lubricating material, FDA approved
for direct food contact
easy cleaning auger conveyors
High flow rates, robust design, versatility and low maintenance made the screw conveyor a very popular choice for bulk material handling. Can be employed in horizontal, inclined and vertical installations, they can be used to control the bulk material flow and the batching accuracy or as mixers to blend ingredients.
Their enclosed design—whether tubular or shaftless—helps prevent dust dispersion and protects sensitive materials from contamination. Easy-clean models feature smooth interiors, removable covers, and rapid-access ports, ensuring quick sanitation in hygiene-critical applications.
Stainless steel versions are suitable for conveying food products, chemical and pharmaceutical.
