Stainless Steel Trough Screw Conveyors

Stainless steel trough screw conveyor is a machine that uses a motor to drive the screw to rotate and push the material to achieve the purpose of conveying. It has the advantages of simple structure, small cross-sectional area, good sealing, convenient operation, easy maintenance, etc. It can convey various loose materials such as powder, granular and small blocks horizontally, inclined or vertically. This kind of conveyor is divided into two types: shaft screw conveyor and shaftless screw conveyor. In terms of appearance, it is divided into U-shaped screw conveyor and tubular screw conveyor. Stainless steel trough screw conveyor is widely used in chemical, electric power, coal, machinery, light industry, grain and food industries. It is suitable for conveying corrosive powder, granular and small block materials, such as sodium chloride, coal powder, fertilizer, ash, coke, etc. However, it is not suitable for conveying materials that are easy to deteriorate, sticky and easy to agglomerate.

Stainless steel trough screw conveyors consist of the following main components

Spiral blades: The spiral screw blade is the main component responsible for moving the material along the conveyor. It is usually made of stainless steel to ensure durability and corrosion resistance.

Trough: The trough serves as a housing for the spiral blades and the conveyed material. It is also made of stainless steel to prevent contamination and ensure easy cleaning.

Drive unit: This component provides the power to rotate the spiral blades and push the material along the conveyor. It is designed to be sturdy and efficient.

Support structure: The conveyor is mounted on a support structure to keep it stable and aligned during operation.

Stainless steel trough screw conveyors offer several advantages over conventional conveyors

Corrosion resistance: These conveyors are manufactured with stainless steel, which has a strong resistance to corrosion, ensuring a long service life even in harsh environments.

Hygienic design: Stainless steel is easy to clean and sterilize, making these conveyors suitable for industries with strict hygiene requirements, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries.

Durability: Stainless steel is a sturdy material that can withstand heavy loads and harsh operating conditions, ensuring the life of the conveyor.

Customization Options: These conveyors can be customized to specific requirements, such as different lengths, inclinations, and discharge heights to suit a variety of applications.

Efficient Material Handling: Designed for efficient material handling, stainless steel trough screw conveyors ensure smooth and reliable transport of bulk materials.

Stainless steel trough screw conveyors are used in a variety of industries

Food Processing: Used to convey ingredients, powders, and other materials in food production facilities.

Pharmaceutical: Ideal for transporting pharmaceutical powders and granules in a hygienic manner.

Chemical: Ideal for handling corrosive chemicals and materials in chemical processing plants.

Beverage Industry: Used to convey raw materials and finished products in beverage manufacturing plants.

Stainless steel trough screw conveyors are essential equipment for industries that require corrosion-resistant, hygienic, and durable material handling solutions. Ruggedly constructed, efficient in operation, and versatile, these conveyors play a vital role in ensuring smooth and reliable material transport in a variety of industrial processes.
