Screw conveyors

Features and Benefits of Screw Conveyors and Extractors

• Simple and Careful Construction: The design of the SC augers is focused on robustness and ease of maintenance, ensuring reliable operation over time.
• Ease of Installation: Their modular design and clear instructions simplify installation operations, reducing downtime.
• Proven Reliability: SC augers are designed for continuous, reliable operation, minimising the need for extraordinary maintenance.
• Compact Construction: The compact dimensions of the SC augers make them suitable even for tight spaces, facilitating integration into existing systems.
• Wide Rangeof Accessories: The availability of a wide range of accessories, such as loading and unloading hoppers, inspection ports and supports, allows the auger configuration to be customised to suit specific application requirements.
• Versatility of Application: SC Screw Conveyors are suitable for conveying a wide range of bulk materials such as powders, granules, pellets and small parts, finding use in sectors such as food, chemicals, plastics, agriculture and many others.

Typical Applications of Screw Conveyors and Extractors

SC series augers are ideal for:

• The horizontal, inclined or vertical transport of bulk materials.
• The feeding of process machinery such as mixers, filling and packaging machines.
• The extraction of materials from silos, hoppers and containers.
• The dosing of materials in production processes.

Features and Benefits:

• Outer Tube made of Polyamide Resin (Nylon PA12): The food-safe and wear-resistant outer tube guarantees the protection of the transported material and the durability of the system.
• AISI 304 Stainless Steel Internal Spiral: The metal spiral, made of stainless steel, offers corrosion resistance and ensures hygienic transport.
• High Rotation Speed conveying: The high rotation speed operating principle distributes the material over the entire inner tube section, allowing the auger to ‘float’ over the product. This reduces friction and the risk of material damage, making flexible augers particularly suitable for fragile or delicate products.
• Easy Fitting into Existing Installations: The tube’s flexibility allows the auger path to be easily adapted to existing plant configurations, overcoming obstacles and spatial constraints.
• Wide Range of Diameters and Lengths: The availability of different sizes allows for flow rates up to 8 m³/h, adapting the system capacity to specific needs.
• Ideal for Delicate Materials: Due to their conveying principle, flexible screw conveyors are particularly suitable for transporting materials that could be damaged by conventional conveying systems.

Typical applications:

Flexible augers are ideal for:

• The transport of fragile materials such as cereals, pulses, delicate foodstuffs and sensitive dust.
• The feeding of machinery in confined spaces or complex paths.
• Integration into existing installations without the need for significant structural modifications.
• The transport of materials where it is essential to avoid contamination or damage.

In summary, both SC-series and flexible screw conveyors offer efficient and reliable solutions for conveying bulk materials, each with specific characteristics that make them suitable for different needs and industrial applications. The choice between the two types will depend on the characteristics of the material to be conveyed, the route requirements and the specifics of the application context.
