Screw Augers

Screw Augers are commonly used in agriculture, chemical and other industries such as food processing and bulk transport of grain, powders, pellets and other materials. Different materials with different flow characteristics require variations in auger design. Changes in material properties ,such as cohesion ,can affect the flow rate of particles in the auger.Difficult to handle, sticky food product being mixed and pumped.

Screw Auger is ideal for transporting dewatered sludge , screenings, solid waste and other difficult to convey materials. It is suitable for inclined, vertical or horizontal installation. The units are available with reversing screws and knife-gate valves to allow for multiple discharge points. This helps ensure even and safe loading of disposal containers or vehicles.
