What is the use of screw conveyor in food industry?

Screw conveyors are widely used in the food industry for various purposes due to their versatility and efficiency in handling different types of food products. Food screw conveyors are usually used to transport, lift, mix, and other operations of food raw materials or finished products during the production process.

Screw conveyors are widely used in material transportation, material mixing, material drying and other aspects of the food production process. Its main uses include raw material transportation, packaging transportation, processing transportation, waste disposal, etc., providing efficient and reliable material transportation solutions for the food industry. The following is a detailed introduction to the use of screw conveyors in the food industry.

First of all, the screw conveyor can be used for the transportation of food. On the production line, food raw materials, finished products or semi-finished products need to be transported from one place to another, and the screw conveyor is just right for this task. It can quickly and effectively transport food materials to the target location, thereby realizing the improvement of production efficiency. In the transportation of some powder, granular and other small materials, the screw conveyor also has a very good performance. As an environmentally friendly conveying machinery and equipment, screw conveyors are favored in environmentally friendly food processing plants where private vehicles cannot enter the site.

Secondly, the food screw conveyor can also be used for material mixing in food processing. In the process of food processing, it is often necessary to mix many different raw materials together to obtain better quality and taste. The screw conveyor can convey different kinds of materials into a mixing tank and mix them with each other through the rotating screw blades. Compared with the traditional mixing method, the screw conveyor has low cost, high efficiency and uniform mixing.

In addition, the screw conveyor can also be used for material drying in food processing. In some food production processes, materials with low moisture content are required. By conveying the food material into the screw conveyor, using its rotation to take away the moisture on the surface of the material, so as to achieve the effect of drying. In the drying of powder, granular and other small materials, the screw conveyor also has a good performance.

In short, screw conveyors have a wide range of application scenarios in the food processing industry. At the same time, it has a good performance in conveying, mixing and drying small materials such as powder and granular.
