Screw Feeder

Screw feeders are designed to meter bulk materials and are typically located at the beginning of a process. Capacity or feed rate can be accurately controlled with screw feeders. Variable speed drives improve metering accuracy and can provide a wide range of feed rates. A screw conveyor or auger conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating helical screw blade, called a "flighting", usually within a tube, to move liquid or granular materials. They are used in many bulk handling industries.
