Ajax Equipment has supplied leading black masterbatch producer, Hubron International, with a horizontal screw conveyor for handling fines as part of its new plant.

Hubron’s Manchester facility uses a range of Ajax solids handling equipment including screw feeders, hoppers, and four FIBC big bag dischargers.

“We have good long-term relationship with Ajax, having worked on many projects with Eddie and his team. Ajax deliver high quality equipment at competitive prices, and we are happy to have completed another project with them," said Dave Waterhouse, engineering team leader at Hubron International said,

Ajax screw conveyors for handling powders and bulk solids are individually designed such that each conveyor suits each individual application.

Ajax individually designed units can also include features to deal with:


  • Materials at extreme temperatures (high or low)

  • Materials that contain lumps

  • Materials that require high containment

  • Highly corrosive materials

  • Systems operating under pressure or vacuum

Ajax conveyors can be manufactured in a range of materials including carbon steel, stainless steels and other high alloy steels. Wear parts such as the flights and the casings can be produced from abrasion-resistant steels or hard coated by various methods.
