Invented by Archimedes and still essential in bulk handling today: the screw conveyor! This transport screw is a versatile bulk conveyor available in both standard and custom configurations.

The screw conveyor is a closed system for controlled transport of bulk materials over short to medium distances. Inside a tube or trough, a rotating auger moves the material, driven by a geared motor. Horizontal, inclined, or vertical transport is possible, with one or multiple inlets and outlets.

Thanks to its enclosed design, the screw conveyor provides a dust-free solution, suitable for applications involving dosing, mixing, cooling, or heating. By adding a dosing screw, precise material feed is achieved. This system is commonly used in sectors such as the food industry, chemicals, and recycling.

For processes requiring simultaneous mixing during transport, a continuous mixer offers a suitable alternative. When bulk material needs to be transferred to silos or transshipment systems, a bulk truck loader (or “bulker”) serves as an efficient addition to the screw conveyor setup.
