Screw Auger Conveyor Product Introduction
Screw Auger Conveyor, also known as screw conveyor or auger feeding system, is a widely used industrial conveying equipment for transporting bulk materials such as coal, cement, grain, dust, residue, fertilizer, and powder materials. It is designed for horizontal or inclined conveying applications in chemical, building material, agriculture, food processing, and mining industries.
The system uses a rotating screw blade inside a sealed steel casing to push materials forward in a controlled and continuous flow. The outer casing is made of seamless steel pipe with flange-connected end caps, ensuring strong sealing performance and dust-free operation. Its modular structure allows easy installation, maintenance, and customization for different industrial requirements.


Working principle
Step 1: Material Feeding
Bulk materials enter the conveyor through the inlet hopper.
Step 2: Screw Rotation Activation
Motor drives the screw shaft to rotate inside sealed casing.
Step 3: Material Pushing Forward
Rotating spiral blade pushes materials along the conveyor tube.
Step 4: Controlled Continuous Transport
Material moves steadily in horizontal or inclined direction.
Step 5: Stable Discharge Process
Materials are discharged through outlet into next equipment.
Step 6: Continuous Cycle Operation
System repeats conveying cycle for uninterrupted production flow.
