Augers & Screw Conveyors / Dischargers

Overview
Screw Conveyors (also known as augers) are widely used by a multitude of different industries. Augers are used for moving large amounts of material from one machine to another and can be vertical or on a steady incline or decline. We provide augers that can be for transporting find powders or granules and can also be made for the food industry both human and animal.

Principle of Operation

Screw conveyors work on the Archimedes' screw principle. As a transport system for granular and powders this is one of the oldest methods yet still one of the most effective.

The screw conveyor consists of a helical screw mounted onto a drive shaft mounted inside a pipe or trough.

The screw is driven from a motor via drive belts or a gearbox usually mounted at the discharge end. As the shaft rotates, the feed section scoops up the material to be transfered, this is then pushed up the tube by the rotating helicoid until finally it exits the tube via the material outlet.

Features:

• Available in carbon steel, galvanised steel or stainless steel.
• V-Belt drive upto 3kW. For higher power motorschain, drives with coaxial or electric couplings are used. Direct drive with a gearbox is also available.
• Thick outer case.
• Spiral thickness calculated based on the density and characteristics of the material to be conveyed.
• Shaft supported at both ends with sealed dust-proof bearings.
• Intermediate shaft supports at appropriate distances with splined coupling.

Options:

• Loading hoppers
• Variable speed control of the drive motor.
• Additional doors for inspection and cleaning protected with microswitch.
• Insulated screw conveyor for the transport of hot material.
