Industry Application
Aggregate
Used occasionally for handling small capacities of aggregates or sand. Also used for the air pollution control systems for handling dust.
Brewing
Used for grain and hops conveying and storage.
Cement
Used for handling Portland cement and cement clinker. Also used for the air pollution control systems for handling dust.
Chemical
Used for handling all types of bulk granular chemicals. Screw conveyors are ideal since they enclose the material and prevent contamination.
Feed and Grain
Used for truck or rail car dump systems and for elevating material to top of storage bins.
Food
Used for all types of food handling. Ideal for screws because they can be fully enclosed and manufactured to meet FDA and USDA standards.
Gypsum
Used for handling raw powdered gypsum. Ideal for screw conveyors because they can be fully enclosed for dust-tight operation.
Ice Handling
Used for handling crushed ice. Ice can be enclosed in conveyor and kept clean. Water leakage is eliminated. Typically of galvanized or stainless steel construction.
Mining and Metals
Used for feeding, conveying, mixing and blending of salt and other materials. Screw conveyors are typically manufactured from 304 or 316 stainless steel.
Power
Used for industrial and commercial boiler feed and take-away systems. Feed coal or other products into the boiler and carry fly ash out of the boiler. Potential hi-temp application.
Pulp and Paper
Used for handling paper pulp, wood waste, sawdust, bark chips, wood chips and lime.
Poultry Processing
Used for handling offal. Offal is a raw meat byproduct. Screws enclose the material and can easily be washed down.
Rendering
Used for all material handling. Ideal application for screw conveyors because material is contained and can be easily washed down.
Wastewater Treatment
Used for de-watering grit and to convey, store and unload biosolids. Excellent application for shaftless screw conveyors.
