Screw Conveyor
TRENNSO-TECHNIK® Screw Conveyors are high-performance conveying systems developed for safe, controlled and dust-tight horizontal or inclined transport of powdered and granular bulk materials.
Suitable for conveying grain, wood chips, pellets and many similar raw materials, the systems can also perform dosing, mixing, cooling or feeding tasks depending on process requirements.
Conveying Applications
- Horizontal material conveying
- Inclined material conveying
- Steep inclined applications approaching vertical conveying
- Dust-tight enclosed material transfer
- Controlled product discharge from storage bins and bunkers
Processable Materials
- Powdered bulk materials
- Granular bulk materials
- Grains
- Wood chips
- Pellets
- Poor-flowing products
- Different industrial raw materials
Process Functions
Screw conveyors can be configured not only for conveying but also for different process tasks using suitable housing and screw designs.
- Dosing
- Mixing
- Cooling
- Feeding
- Controlled product discharge
Trough Screw Conveyors
Trough screw conveyors provide enclosed, dust-tight material transfer in horizontal or inclined conveying applications. Systems can be manufactured with different trough geometries according to the application.
- V-shaped trough
- U-shaped trough
- Box-shaped trough
- Enclosed tubular screw conveyor
Tubular Screw Conveyors
Tubular screw conveyors are particularly suitable for ascending, inclined and near-vertical conveying applications. They also help discharge poorly flowing products from containers or storage equipment in a controlled manner.
Customizable Screw Design
The screw pitch can be customized according to the characteristics of the material being conveyed. This enables products with different densities, particle structures and flow properties to be conveyed in a more controlled and efficient manner.
Single- and Multi-Shaft Systems
- Single-shaft screw conveyor options
- Multi-shaft screw conveyor options
- Customizable screw geometry according to the application
- Compact system design
Wear-Resistant Design
In processes involving abrasive products, the conveyor trough and screw flight can be equipped with different wear-protection solutions.
- Stainless-steel screw flight
- HARDOX steel screw flight
- Special wear-resistant material options
- Different wear-protection solutions inside the trough
Stainless-Steel Option
For applications requiring hygiene, corrosion resistance or special process conditions, the entire screw conveyor can be manufactured from stainless steel.
Adjustable Conveying Capacity
The discharge capacity of screw conveyors can be continuously adjusted according to process requirements. This ensures controlled and balanced material feeding to downstream production equipment.
