SS304 Food Grade Powder Transfer Small Spiral Inclined Screw Conveyors Elevator Equipment
Product Description
Screw conveyors assist in moving, or conveying items such as: packages, equipment, food, or products from one area to another, usually for the purpose of performing automated or semi-automated finishing or manufacturing processes. These conveyors are able to transport dry, loose materials between places such as pits, trucks, barrels, rail cars, silos, hoppers, and vats.
To that end, screw conveyors can be found in a wide range of industries and applications, such as: construction, oil and gas, mining, chemical, pharmaceutical, plastic, food processing and agricultural.
In farming and agriculture, screw conveyors are used as a part of machinery, like balers or threshers, that assist in conveying grains and animal feed to various locations. In food processing, screw conveyors transport dry ingredients—such as nuts, salt, and flour—that are used in making food products. The construction industry uses industrial screw conveyors to mix wet and dry ingredients to produce plaster or cement.
Screw conveyor Equipment is constructed of carbon steel with a variety of durable industrial finishes, and stainless steel in industrial and food, dairy and pharmaceutical finishes meeting the requirements of your industry and application.
