Maximize Productivity with the Right Design of Your Flexible Screw Conveyor

INCREASING CONVEYOR 

PERFORMANCE AND EFFICIENCY

Due to their relatively low cost and simple 

construction,  flexible  screw  conveyors 

are  one  of  the  most  common  types  of 

conveyors  used  by  manufacturers.    The 

reason for this is that the screw is the only 

part of the conveyor that moves. The only 

other major components are the tubular 

housing,  and  the  electric  motor  that 

drives the screw (also called the auger).

Despite  its  uncomplicated,  yet  reliable 

construction  and  straightforward 

operation,  many  end-users  overlook 

important  factors  that  could  potentially 

lead  to  poor  performance,  excessive 

power  usage,  severe  wear,  and  material 

degradation.  For  these  reasons,    it 

is  essential  to  consider  all  system 

parameters  when  selecting  conveyor 

options.  Only  then  can  you  ensure  a 

correct  and  successful  installation  that 

achieves maximum operational efficiency.
