Screw conveyor for packaging machines, pharmaceutical industry by Burgsmüller GmbH
A screw conveyor makes it possible to transport different bulk materials, e.g. powder, pastes or granules, continuously over several meters from A to B - dust-free, safely and with low noise. The screw is located inside a pipe or trough and rotates - usually motor-driven - around its own axis. Thanks to gravity and the friction of the transported material against the walls of the pipes, the material is prevented from rotating with the screw and further movement is ensured. Depending on the requirements, additional processing steps can be carried out directly during the transport, such as compacting, cooling or heating the goods. Conveying and metering screws are used for a wide range of tasks in many different industries, from the plastics industry to the food industry to the chemical industry.
