Screw Conveyor
A screw conveyor (also called an auger conveyor) is a mechanical device used to move bulk materials like powders, grains, granules, or semi-solids from one place to another using a rotating helical screw inside a tube or trough.
Working Principle :
Material is fed into the inlet hopper
The screw rotates inside the casing
As it rotates, it pushes material forward
Material moves continuously to the outlet
👉 Works similar to a rotating
screw pushing material along its length
Types of Screw Conveyor :
1. Horizontal Screw Conveyor
Most common
Used for short-distance transport
2. Inclined Screw Conveyor
Moves material at an angle
Efficiency reduces with steep angles
3. Vertical Screw Conveyor
Lifts material vertically
Requires higher power
4. Shaftless Screw Conveyor
No central shaft
Ideal for sticky or fibrous materials
5. Flexible Screw Conveyor
Uses flexible tubing
Good for small industries
Applications

🍛 Food industry → flour, sugar, spices
🌾 Agriculture → grains, seeds
🧪 Chemical industry → powders, pellets
