Flexible Screw Conveyor
A Flexible Screw Conveyor is a conveying system used to transfer dry, semi-dry, and free-flowing materials from one point to another. Its flexible design allows it to route materials around obstacles and through different plant layouts.
A Flexible Screw Conveyor uses a rotating flexible screw inside a tube to move the product forward. As the screw rotates, it continuously pushes the material toward the required discharge point.
