Food-grade tubular screw conveyors

Ensure complete hygiene in your production line with these stainless steel tubular screw conveyors, specifically engineered to minimize material residue and prevent contamination in food processing environments.

Conveys and Feeds Food-Grade Materials

The Food-Grade Stainless Steel Tubular Screw Conveyor TXF by WAMGROUP offers a tailored solution for the food industry, ensuring contaminant-free processing while enhancing operational efficiency. Crafted from high-grade stainless steel, this conveyor minimizes material residue through its perfectly smooth surfaces, achieved with advanced manufacturing techniques. It integrates seamlessly into food and beverage production lines, such as biscuit processing and brewery operations, owing to its versatile application in conveying and feeding processes. Capable of continuous, high-speed operation, it handles solids, powders, and granules efficiently.

Equipped with a helicoid screw flighting continuously welded on a center pipe and a gear motor optimized for food-grade applications, the TXF ensures optimal material flow, reducing potential contamination risks. The design includes a user-friendly maintenance approach, with easy, quick extraction of the screw from the housing. Optional ATEX Zone 22 or Zone 21 certifications make it suitable for explosive environments, enhancing safety. Certified under European Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, the TXF complies with strict food contact standards, providing traceability and peace of mind for processing delicate items like infant formula and meat products. Available customization options and engineering support ensure the system meets specific production demands, making it a versatile asset for various food processing facilities.
