Screw Conveyors

1. Horizontal Screw Conveyors

Horizontal screw conveyors are the most commonly used type for efficient bulk material handling, designed to transport materials from one stage of a process to another with ease. They are available in a wide range of sizes, lengths, configurations, and construction materials to suit various industrial applications. As a reliable Screw Conveyor Manufacturer in Chhattisgarh, we offer robust and customizable solutions that ensure smooth operation, durability, and consistent performance.

Screw conveyors are typically designed to handle bulk materials at 15%, 30%, or 45% trough loading, depending on the characteristics of the material being conveyed. For light, free-flowing, and non-abrasive materials, a 45% trough loading is generally suitable, while denser, sluggish, or more abrasive materials require lower loadings of 15% to 30% for optimal performance. As a trusted Screw Conveyor Manufacturer in Chhattisgarh, we design efficient and durable systems tailored to meet specific material handling requirements across various industries.

2. Inclined Screw Conveyors

Inclined screw conveyors typically operate from slightly above the horizontal up to 45 degrees. Beyond this angle, they are considered vertical screw conveyors and require specialized design standards. As the incline increases, conveying efficiency decreases and power requirements rise due to gravity and material fallback. As a trusted Screw Conveyor Manufacturer in Chhattisgarh, we design efficient systems that ensure optimal performance even in inclined applications.

Conveying efficiency is affected by angle of incline, characteristics of the specific bulk material, type of screw conveyor trough and screw pitch. Metflo Process recommends designing screw conveyors using the lowest possible degree of incline for maximum efficiency.
