Screw Conveyor

Bevcon Wayors’ Screw Conveyors are used to convey semi-solid materials horizontally or through slight inclinations efficiently. Materials such as food waste, wood chips, aggregates, cereal grains, animal feed, boiler ash, meat, bone meal, municipal solid waste etc.

In industrial control applications the conveyor may be used as a variable rate feeder to deliver a measured rate or quantity of material into a process. Screw conveyors can have greater pitch spacing, resulting in a higher capacity without an increase in rotation speed.

Screw Conveyors can be operated with the flow of material inclined upward. When space allows, this is a very economical method of elevating and conveying. It is important to understand, however, that as the angle of inclination increases, the allowable capacity of a given unit decreases.
