Derichs FMS-T-400 Stainless Steel screw conveyor

Screw conveyors are used to meter or convey product horizontally up to approximately 7 m or vertically up to 3 m. Depending on the application, either enclosed tubular screw conveyors or trough screw conveyors are used. The advantage of trough screw conveyors is that the trough lids can be opened for cleaning.

The bulk material is given into the conveyor through the inlet. There it is conveyed by the screw spirals to the outlet. In the case of dosing and weighing processes, the drive is generally controlled by a frequency converter in order to achieve a coarse and finest flow, which allows a weight-accurate dosing. In order to prevent product trickling at the outlet an optional pneumatically operated outlet flap can be installed.
