Description

Usually installed downline of single-shaft shredders, screw conveyors ensure transport of the material to the next processing stage or to the point of discharge into big-bags. 

Available in open trough versions with covers for easy maintenance and cleaning, and also in tubes of various diameters to guarantee the maximum liquid tightness, screw conveyors are ideal for transporting light materials such as granulated plastic, wood, or rubber. Available in various lengths and diameters, screw conveyors are constructed with perforated sections in certain parts to allow controlled drainage of liquids.
