Manufacturer Bulk Bag Unloader Screw Conveyor System

Product introduction of Screw Conveyor System

Screw Conveyor System, also known as auger conveyor or spiral conveying system, is a widely used industrial equipment for transporting bulk materials in horizontal, inclined, or vertical directions. It is designed for handling materials such as cement, grain, flour, coal powder, fertilizer, chemicals, and small granules.

The system operates using a rotating screw blade inside a sealed trough or pipe, which pushes materials forward in a controlled and continuous flow. It is widely integrated into production lines for feeding, mixing, dosing, and unloading applications. With strong sealing performance and flexible layout design, it ensures dust-free and efficient material handling across multiple industries.

Constructed with carbon steel or stainless steel 304/316L, the system offers durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life for industrial environments.

Working principle

Step 1: Material Feeding

Bulk materials enter the screw conveyor through hopper or inlet port.

Step 2: Screw Rotation Drive

Motor drives the screw shaft to rotate inside the enclosed casing.

Step 3: Material Forward Movement

Rotating spiral blade pushes materials along the conveyor tube.

Step 4: Continuous Transport Flow

Materials move steadily in horizontal or inclined direction.

Step 5: Stable Discharge Output

Materials are discharged into next processing or packaging equipment.

Step 6: Continuous Operation Cycle

System repeats conveying process for uninterrupted production flow.
