Screw conveyors, also called auger conveyors, are used in processing plants for conveying food products. By designing certain features into the screw conveyor system, other benefits can be obtained. These include, temperature control, mixing of products, chopping of product, metering, dispensing, and more. Long term gains in both efficiency and quality are very possible. In fact, they are happening in numerous plants for which we have designed and built screw conveyor systems.

A commercial auger conveyor is an efficient way to move raw materials from one area to another with little to no spillage. However, screw conveyors can develop or create other problems. Here are some ways to keep your auger conveyor running smoothly, as we discuss common issues you may encounter.
The function of a Screw Conveyor is to push material as the screw rotates in a fixed trough, pipe or housing. Using rotating helical screw blades (also referred to as flights or augers), screw conveyors appear in almost every industry and transport all types of materials. They consist of a tube or trough containing a helical screw blade, which transports material according to its rotational direction as driven by conveyor motors. |
