KI Conequip flexible screw conveyor, also known as a spiral conveyor, screw conveyor, helix conveyor or center less auger conveyor, consists of a spring steel or stainless steel, flexible screw that is enclosed in a flexible or rigid plastic tube, or a rigid steel tube, and driven by an electric motor normally located at the discharge end of the conveyor. This simple design delivers efficient performance and high reliability while reducing maintenance and cost. When properly engineered according to the specific characteristics of the material being conveyed and the process into which it will be integrated, a flexible screw conveyor can outperform rigid screw conveyors, bucket elevators, drag chain conveyors, aero mechanical conveyors and other equipment intended to transport powder and bulk solid materials.

Description

What is a Screw Conveyor?

A screw conveyor, also known as an auger conveyor, is a mechanical device used to transport bulk materials in a controlled and efficient manner. It consists of a rotating helical screw blade, commonly referred to as a "flighting," housed within a tube or trough. As the screw rotates, materials are pushed forward through the conveyor, making it an ideal solution for transporting granular, powdery, and semi-solid substances. Screw conveyors are widely used in industries such as construction, agriculture, food processing, and manufacturing due to their ability to handle different types of materials with ease and effici.

How Does a Screw Conveyor Work?

A screw conveyor is a mechanical device that transports bulk materials in a controlled and efficient manner. The system consists of a helical screw blade, also known as a flighting, that rotates within a trough or tube to move materials from one point to another. The working principle of a screw auger conveyor is simple yet highly effective:

  • Material Loading: Ensures smooth and continuous material flow.
  • Rotation & Movement:The motor-driven screw rotates, pushing the material forward in a controlled manner.
  • Inclined or Horizontal Transport: The material is conveyed either horizontally or at an incline, depending on the application.
  • Discharge: The material exits through the outlet chute, where it can be collected or transferred for further processing.

This design makes screw conveyors ideal for handling powders, granules, cement, food products, and more in industries requiring controlled material flow.

Superior Screw Conveyor Systems for Efficient Material Handling

Our range of screw conveyors is built with precision engineering to ensure smooth and consistent material flow. Whether you need a batching plant screw conveyor or a cement auger for bulk material handling, we offer tailored solutions to meet your specific requirements.

The intake end of a flexible screw conveyor tube is typically equipped with a charging adapter a U-shaped trough that connects to the outlet of a hopper or directly to the outlet of process equipment such as a bulk bag discharger, bag dump station, and grinder, crusher, screener, blender, reactor or storage vessel of any kind.

The flexible screw passes through the charging adapter trough, exposing a section of the screw to material flowing into the trough from above. When rotating, the exposed section of screw feeds material into the outer tube, where it is then propelled through the tube by the enclosed portion of the screw.

A KI Conequip resulting from the loose fit of a rotating flexible screw within a tube filled with bulk material is that the screw automatically self-centers within the tube, providing clearance between the screw and tube wall. This affords sufficient space for particles to flow without damage, depending on the fragility and size of particles being conveyed.

Because the intake end of the screw requires no bearing, and since the discharge end is coupled to the motor drive above and/or beyond the point at which material exits the discharge spout, material does not come in contact with seals or bearings. The flexible screw is therefore the only moving part contacting material.
