Manufacturer Automatic Auger Conveyor for Granule Handling

Automatic Auger Conveyor Product Introduction

Automatic Auger Conveyor, also known as screw conveyor or spiral conveyor system, is a widely used mechanical conveying equipment for transporting bulk materials in industrial and agricultural applications. It is designed to handle powder, granules, pellets, and small lump materials such as cement, sand, lime, coal powder, fertilizer, grain, sugar, spice, coffee, and animal feed.

The system uses a rotating screw blade inside a tube or U-shaped trough to push materials forward continuously. It can be applied for horizontal conveying, inclined feeding, and vertical lifting, making it highly flexible for different production layouts. Constructed from stainless steel 304 or carbon steel, the conveyor ensures durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. With adjustable speed motor and customized design options, it is suitable for a wide range of industrial automation systems.

Working principle

Step 1: Material Feeding

Bulk materials enter the hopper or inlet section of the conveyor system.

Step 2: Screw Rotation Drive

The motor drives the screw shaft to rotate continuously inside the tube or trough.

Step 3: Material Pushing Movement

Rotating spiral blades push materials forward along the conveyor path.

Step 4: Continuous Conveying Process

Materials are transported steadily in horizontal, inclined, or vertical directions.

Step 5: Material Discharge

Materials are discharged through the outlet into the next processing stage.

Step 6: Continuous Operation Cycle

The system maintains stable and continuous bulk material conveying.
