FSM conveyors are used to convey solid matter and are available in two main designs – as a screw conveyor with self-supporting central shaft or as spiral conveyor without central shaft.
Applications range from municipal sewage plants to industrial applications in the foodstuff and paper industries, in waste product and recycling plants etc. The conveyors are further used in reception stations for road sweepings or sewer grit.
Here, the conveyors can be directly fed by suction vehicles or similar equipment.
Functional principle:
The screw conveyor can be directly charged via a coarse or fine screening unit, a screw conveyor or a screenings wash compactor. The screenings are then conveyed to the discharge point.
The discharge points can be variably arranged so that a complete container can be filled by one container. The screw conveyors can be provided in pivoted or travelling versions.
The "intelligent" screw conveyor can fill several container trolleys in combination with FSM container trolleys, the container can be uniformly filled without recourse to manual operation. When a double screw conveyor is used, the discharge hopper can be provided with an automatic slewing chute.
The material can be discharged to a wash compactor, belt conveyor, container etc.
