1. Versatility: Flexible screw conveyors can be easily adapted to fit into tight spaces or navigate complex routes, making them suitable for challenging plant layouts.
2. Gentle Handling: The spiral motion of the auger ensures gentle handling of materials, minimizing breakage and degradation.
3. Low Maintenance: The uncomplicated design with few moving parts reduces maintenance needs and downtime.
4. Quick Clean-Out: The removable auger and easy-to-access components facilitate fast and efficient cleaning and changeovers.
5. Cost-Effective: Flexible screw conveyors are often more affordable than other conveying solutions, offering a cost-effective method for material transport.
6. Diverse Applications: These conveyors can handle a wide range of materials, from fine powders to larger particles, making them versatile for various industries.
- Aeromechanical conveyors: feature a circular conveyor tube with specially designed discs spaced evenly along the length. These discs are attached to a continuous wire rope or chain that travels around the conveyor circuit. As the discs move through the tube, they pick up and carry the material within the spaces between them.
