Note: The Maximum recommended RPM Depends on Product Selection – Select Material in Step 1 – or reference the Capacity Table here.

The design above has a screw that is rotating faster than the CEMA recommended RPM. KWS Recommends that you increase the diameter of the screw conveyor or consult with a KWS representative.
