Screw Conveyors

A screw conveyor is a machine 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.The screw conveyor works on the principle of Archimedes' screw. As the screw rotates, it pushes the material along the conveyor tube. The material is held in place by the screw blade and the sidewalls of the tube. Screw conveyors can be used to convey a wide variety of materials, including: Food products such as grain, flour, and sugar
