A Screw Conveyor, also known as an Auger Conveyor or Helical Screw Conveyor, is a mechanical conveying system that uses a rotating helical screw (flighting) enclosed within a trough or tubular casing to move bulk materials from one point to another.

It is widely used for conveying powders, granules, semi-solid materials, and fine bulk solids in industries such as cement, mining, food processing, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, agriculture, plastics, wastewater treatment, and material handling.

Magbro Tech Industries manufactures customized Screw Conveyors designed to meet various capacities, material characteristics, conveying lengths, and plant layouts.

Our Industrial Screw Conveyors are engineered using heavy-duty fabricated steel construction, precision-machined screw flights, robust shafts, premium hanger bearings, efficient geared motors, and wear-resistant liners.

Designed for continuous-duty operation, they provide smooth material movement while minimizing dust generation and product loss. Our conveyors are available in U-Trough, Tubular, Shafted, and Shaftless configurations with multiple inlet and outlet arrangements.

Working Principle

The Screw Conveyor operates using a rotating helical screw.

1. Material enters through the inlet hopper.
2. The electric motor drives the screw through a gearbox.
3. As the screw rotates, the material is pushed forward along the conveyor.
4. The material is transported to the discharge outlet.
5. Continuous screw rotation ensures uninterrupted material flow.

This simple yet effective mechanism provides reliable conveying with minimal maintenance.
