Screw Conveyor
Engineered for Efficiency and Performance
At LGPM, we provide high-quality screw conveyor solutions tailored for various industries requiring precise and efficient bulk material handling. Our conveyors are designed to handle a diverse range of materials, from powders and grains to chemicals and sludge, ensuring reliability and high performance.
With years of expertise in industrial processing equipment, we develop screw conveyors that meet the specific needs of food processing, agriculture, mining, and chemical industries. Our focus is on delivering robust construction, efficiency, and durability to support demanding operational requirements.
WHAT ARE SCREW CONVEYORS?
A screw conveyor is an efficient and versatile system designed for transporting bulk materials across various industries. It consists of a rotating screw housed within a trough or tube, allowing controlled movement of materials such as powders, grains, and chemicals. This type of conveyor is widely used for handling difficult materials, offering reliability, efficiency, and ease of integration into larger processing systems.
Key Features and Benefits
Bulk Materials Handling
Designed to efficiently transport a variety of bulk materials such as powders, grains, cement, chemicals, and sludge, ensuring smooth operation across multiple industries.
Efficient Material Flow
Performance is enhanced with carefully engineered inlet positions, shaft design, and drive unit configuration to minimise the risk of blockages and maximise throughput.
Dust Control
Features enclosed tube or trough designs that contain product during conveying, reducing spillage and contamination while supporting a cleaner, safer work environment.
Durability and Longevity
Manufactured using high-quality materials and finishes, including mild steel, stainless steel (304 & 316), and food grade options, with surface treatments like powder coating, hot dip galvanising, or painting to maximise lifespan even under harsh conditions.
Customisable Design
Configured to meet specific project requirements, with a full range of diameters, lengths, and inclinations available. Systems can be supplied with tailored shaft sealing for abrasive or fine powders, various drive setups including inline, chain or right-angle drives, and optional jacketed bodies for heating or cooling applications.
Types of Screw Conveyors
Screw conveyors come in multiple configurations, each suited for specific applications:
- Vertical Screw Conveyor – Designed for elevating materials to higher levels with minimal footprint.
- Horizontal Screw Conveyors – Used for transferring bulk materials horizontally with consistent flow.
- Tubular Screw Conveyors – Enclosed systems that prevent contamination and are ideal for food products and sensitive materials.
- Auger Conveyor – Commonly used in agriculture and grain handling to move granular materials efficiently.
Applications Across Various Industries
Screw conveyors are widely used across multiple industries due to their versatility and efficiency:
- Agriculture – Handling grains, feed, and fertilisers.
- Mining – Transporting difficult materials such as ore and sludge.
- Food Processing – Moving food products while maintaining hygiene standards.
- Cement and Chemicals – Reliable transportation of fine powders and industrial materials.
Choosing the Right Screw Conveyor for Your Application
Selecting the correct screw conveyor depends on factors such as material characteristics, angle of inclination, and required efficiency. Our experts can help determine the best solution based on:
- Material type – Whether handling granular materials, powders, or wet sludge.
- Flow requirements – Considerations for speed, capacity, and consistency of feed.
- Environmental conditions – Factors such as moisture, heat, or exposure to corrosive substances.
