The helical conveyor screw is widely used in the manufacturing process in the world, it is present in grain storage and drying; vegetable oil extraction; agricultural; mining and cement; chemical industry; citrus industry; fertilizers; food products and beverages; animal feed factories; lumber; Paper And Cellulose; port terminals; sugar mills.
Used in horizontal transport, it is recommended for small and medium distances, where it has great advantages compared to other conveyors. By means of a helicoid and a body that can be tubular or in a gutter, they drag the material.
The gutter, tube, and thread can be manufactured in carbon steel, galvanized or stainless steel, according to the customer's needs and project, they are assembled with the following optional auxiliary elements: walkway, stairs, guardrail and handrails;
Some advantages are: low maintenance cost, with spare parts easily found on the market, mechanical technicians can perform maintenance quickly.
They take up less space, because they have a smaller dimension compared to other conveyors, and enjoy a large displacement of material, they manage to fit in almost all projects.
Low investment cost and high transport efficiency, therefore low energy cost.
Also, helical conveyor screws are found as chupim , an inclined version of this one, and as helicoidal elevator , which Alliance has in its catalogue, check it out by clicking on the links.
Conveyors are dimensioned for each case and project, optimizing the efficiency of the equipment.
