Screw conveyor
Model 1450 flexible screw conveyor handles free- and
non-free-flowing bulk materials including products that
pack, cake, seize, smear, or break apart. Unit accepts 10- to
40-foot-long flexible screws with square, flat, or beveled
profiles. During operation, the only moving product-
contact part is the inner screw, which self-centers as it
rotates, providing ample space between the screw and tube
wall to minimize or eliminate grinding. Lower end of the
screw requires no bearing while the upper end is driven
beyond the point of discharge, preventing material contact
with bearings or seals. Screw's gentle rolling action prevents
blend separation and the fully enclosed, polymer conveyor
tube prevents product and plant contamination. Features
include a carbon-steel floor hopper, discharge housing, an
optional UL-listed start-stop control panel, and a range of
flow-aid devices.
