Single shaft screw feeders for consistent material feeding

Tackle challenging materials with poor flow characteristics by optimizing feed rates and preventing blockages, ensuring efficient downstream processing through precise single shaft screw feeder technology.

Feeds and Conveys Powders and Granules Efficiently

The Single Shaft Screw Feeders SU from WAMGROUP offer a robust solution for efficiently feeding and conveying powders and granules, particularly in challenging conditions. These feeders are meticulously designed to prevent common flow issues such as bridging, rat-holing, and segregation, ensuring consistent material processing. Ideally suited for the production of flour, animal feed, paint, and varnish, these feeders are crucial in maintaining steady material supply lines. With a modular design, they integrate seamlessly into various production processes and can handle continuous and manual operations efficiently.

Available in both standard U-shaped and flared V-section troughs, the SU feeders are offered in light-duty versions for materials like flour and heavy-duty versions for animal feed. Constructed with carbon steel and featuring a durable powder-coated finish, the equipment can withstand rigorous workplace conditions. The system is equipped with ATEX Zone 22 certification, highlighting its safety for use in potentially explosive environments.

Integration is made easy with options for direct drives or chain and belt transmission systems, and it supports a wide range of outlet configurations. Maintenance is minimized with features like self-lubricating slide bush bearings, ensuring longevity and reliability in demanding industrial applications. Customization options, such as food-grade finishes and air-purged shaft seals, allow further tailoring to specific operational requirements.

Benefits

  • Ensures continuous material flow, reducing the risk of production interruptions.
  • Customizable configurations enhance adaptability across diverse production environments.
  • Robust construction minimizes maintenance needs, lowering operational costs.
  • Certified for safety in explosive atmospheres, ensuring compliance and worker protection.
  • Improves material handling efficiency, preventing costly bridging and segregation issues.
