What Are Screw Conveyors Used For?
Screw conveyors are always control fed at the inlet by a device that regulates the flow such as a rotary airlock, screw feeder, belt conveyor, or even another screw conveyor. Screw conveyors are typically designed to convey bulk materials at 15, 30, or 45-percent trough loading, depending upon material characteristics of the specific bulk material.
