Choosing the Right Screw Conveyor:

Selecting the appropriate screw conveyor involves considering factors such as:

• Material properties (density, abrasiveness, particle size): Determining the necessary material of construction and screw design.
• Capacity requirements (volume and flow rate): Defining the appropriate size and power of the conveyor.
• Conveyance distance and inclination: Influencing the length, design, and drive system selection.
• Environmental conditions (temperature, humidity): Choosing appropriate materials and seals to withstand environmental factors.
