Screw Conveyors and Industrial Augers for Material Conveying

Horizontal Screw Augers, Vertical Screw Conveyors, Flexible Screw Conveyors, and Olds Elevator Screws

Screw conveyors are a widely used mechanical conveying system in bulk material handling. They are designed to move a variety of bulk materials—such as grains, powders, granules, and semi-solid materials—horizontally, inclined, or even vertically over short to moderate distances. Screw conveyors consist of the following basic components: Helical screw /auger, mounted on a central shaft; Trough or tube, which encloses the screw to contain the material; and the Drive unit. which powers the rotation of the screw. As the auger rotates, it pushes the material along the length of the trough or tube through a combination of rotational force and friction between the material and the conveyor.

Selecting the right screw conveyor system is a critical step in the design of your industrial process. Our team of material handling specialists will work closely with you to determine the most suitable conveying solution. We’ll guide you through the decision-making process, helping you evaluate the various types of screw conveyors to ensure your materials are transferred quickly and efficiently—turning raw inputs into high-value products.

Equipment Available

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.

Horizontal Screw Conveyors

Horizontal screw conveyors are the most widely used type of screw conveyor. Used to convey bulk
materials from one part of a process to another, horizontal screw conveyors are available in a wide
range of sizes, lengths, configurations and materials of construction.

Vertical Screw Conveyors

Vertical screw conveyors are a very efficient method for elevating a variety of bulk materials at very steep inclines or completely vertical. The compact design allows for the vertical screw conveyor to fit into almost any plant layout. With a minimum number of moving parts, the vertical screw conveyor is a cost-effective and dependable component of any bulk material handling process.

Flexible Screw Conveyors

The UniFlex Flexible Screw Conveyor is an excellent choice for the intermittent conveying of free-flowing bulk materials. With only one moving part, UniFlex conveyors offer dependable service. Discover how a UniFlex flexible screw conveyor can move your product in less time, less space, and with less cost.

Olds Vertical Elevators

The Olds Elevator System can be a solution for virtually any vertical elevation application. From High temperature materials and gentle handling to dense abrasives and more.
