Customize types of screw conveyors

A screw conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating helical screw blade, usually within a tube, to move liquid or granular materials. They are used in many bulk-handling industries. Screw conveyors in modern industry are often used horizontally or at a slight incline as an efficient way to move semi-solid materials, including food waste, wood chips, aggregates, cereal grains, animal feed, boiler ash, meat, and bone meal, municipal solid waste, and many others. The first type of screw conveyor was the Archimedes' screw, used since ancient times to pump irrigation water.

Advantages of Using Screw Conveyors

Ideal for conveying dry to semi-fluid bulk materials – free-flowing to sluggish

Cost-effective when compared to other conveying devices such as belts, pneumatic or aeromechanical

Efficiently distributes bulk materials to various locations using multiple inlet and discharge points

Totally enclosed for dusty, corrosive, or hazardous environments

BBN steel designs and supplies vertical screw conveyors to meet the needs of many industries, such as chemical, mineral processing, food, wood products, and wastewater treatment.

BBN Steel Screw Conveyors are available in many configurations. Inlet sections can be offset to either side or can be in-line. Horizontal feed conveyors are required to accurately meter bulk materials directly to the vertical conveyor’s inlet for maximum efficiency.
