Mechanical Conveyor System with Twin Screw Augers

CMT offers conveyor systems and equipment for the mechanical transfer of bulk powders and solids, including Screw Conveyors, Bucket Elevators, Tubular Conveyors, Belt Conveyors, and Drag Conveyors. Mechanical Conveying equipment is commonly used in industrial process systems for transferring product between processing steps, storage, or packaging. This usually involves the use of industrial-sized screws (also known as "screw augers"), buckets, tubes, discs, chains, belts, or a combination of these methods for material transfer. Modern industrial automation technology allows for the continuous, hands-off operation in manufacturing or processing plants.

When designing a mechanical conveying system, several critical factors must be evaluated to ensure optimal efficiency and performance tailored to the specific application. Key considerations include the industry sector, nature of the conveying operation, required throughput capacity, environmental and spatial constraints, and the flow properties of the bulk material. Engaging with one of our material handling specialists will assist in selecting the most suitable mechanical conveyor solution for your operational requirements.

When handling bulk powders and other materials, the process engineering expert are a wide range of bulk and particulate properties that vary enormously. The obvious properties are particle size and size distribution, particle density and, perhaps, particle shape. However, there are many more properties that have an enormous effect on the “handleability” of the material. For example, bulk density, permeability, cohesive bulk strength, moisture content, electrostatic charging, and the list goes on. These properties will significantly influence the performance of mechanical handling equipment.

Screw Conveyors

Screw Conveyors (Augers) are mechanical conveying devices that implement a rotating helical screw blade called a "flighting", to convey a variety of powders, semi-liquids, and granular materials, ranging from sluggish to free-flowing.

Bucket Elevators

Bucket Elevators (Conveyors) are essentially vertical belt conveyors with buckets bolted on for material transfer from one process to the other. Bucket Elevators offer many of the desirable features associated with horizontal belt conveyors, with the added benefit of vertical conveying.

Aeromechanical Conveyors

Tubular Conveyors use a combination of chains, cables, or discs within a fully enclosed tube for material transfer of bulk powders and solids. We offer two different types of Tubular Conveyors: Aeromechanical Conveyors (AMC), and Tubular Drag-Chain Conveyors

Belt Conveyors

Belt Conveyors provide a cost-effective solution for conveying powders, solids, and finished goods over long distances. The simplistic design of belt conveyors provides a convenient solution for transportation requirements in process plants around the globe.

Tubular Drag Chain Conveyors

The MPE Chain-Vey provides gentle, efficient conveying with a flexible, space-saving design that fits nearly any setup. Its enclosed, dust-tight system protects products. Its Clean-In-Place (CIP) capabilities and automated wash cycles ensure sanitary operation.

Old's Elevator

The Olds elevator features a fixed outer tube with a rotating inner tube or screw positioned concentrically inside. In contrast to traditional vertical screw conveyors, the outer casing does not move—only the inner screw rotates. Material is introduced at the base of the tube and is conveyed upward as the screw turns.
