Screw conveyors, often referred to as screw feeders, are essential in modern industrial operations for efficiently transporting semi-solid materials over short distances. These systems utilize a helical screw blade that rotates within a tube, propelling materials such as plastic granules, feed, wood chips, and more. Ideal for slight inclines, screw conveyors are widely used across bulk handling industries including plastics, food processing, and recycling. Máquina Rumtoo, a trusted name in industrial machinery, provides high-quality, custom-engineered screw conveyors designed to meet specific operational needs.
Different Styles of Screw Conveyor
Screw conveyors come in various configurations to suit different applications. The basic mechanism involves a rotating screw within a tube, moving materials at a controlled speed. This makes them a cost-effective solution for transporting semi-solid materials over relatively short distances. Common styles include horizontal, inclined, and vertical screw conveyors, each designed for specific material types and flow requirements.
