How it works

How does our screw conveyor work?

Screw conveyors work according to the Archimedean screw principle. A rotating screw conveyor moves the material within a trough or pipe from one point to another. This technology enables even and metered transportation of bulk materials such as chips or filter cakes. The design is particularly space-saving and can be flexibly adapted to different production environments.

The bulk material is filled into the trough or pipe.

The screw conveyor begins to rotate and moves the material along its blades.

The geared motor ensures even and reliable conveying.

Depending on the design, the material is transported horizontally or vertically inclined.

At the discharge point, the conveyed material is sent for further processing or disposal.

Screw conveyors - Why you should rely on this solution

Optimum material flow

Continuous and even conveying prevents blockages and production interruptions. This ensures greater process reliability and reduces unplanned downtime.

Space-saving design

Screw conveyors require little space and can be flexibly integrated into existing production systems. This makes them ideal for use in confined working environments.

Energy-efficient promotion

Direct material transport reduces energy consumption compared to pneumatic or other mechanical conveyor systems. This lowers operating costs and makes the process more sustainable.

Low noise development

Compared to other conveyor systems, screw conveyors are particularly quiet, which reduces noise pollution in production and creates a more pleasant working environment.

Minimal maintenance effort

Thanks to fewer moving parts and a robust design, screw conveyors are extremely low-maintenance. This reduces maintenance requirements and lowers long-term costs.

Dust and dirt-free transportation

The closed system keeps the conveyed material inside the trough, which minimizes contamination of the production environment and reduces the amount of cleaning required.
