Trough screw conveyor for flour mills

Optimize your flour processing with efficient material handling, precisely designed for smooth and reliable transport of powdery and granular substances within your production line.

Conveys and Handles Powdery and Granular Materials

The MSC Trough Screw Conveyors from WAMGROUP are specifically designed to tackle the sophisticated handling needs of flour milling and grain processing operations. Engineered with a modular, light-duty design, these conveyors efficiently transport powdery and granular materials such as flour, bran, and cereal grains. Featuring carbon steel construction with a food-grade surface finish, the conveyors are equipped with helicoid screw flighting on a central pipe, ensuring reliable movement of materials. The modular configuration allows for easy integration into existing production lines, with customizable options like variable pitch screws and multiple inlet and outlet configurations.

The gear motor drives provide robust conveying power, optimized for continuous operation within the flour milling and food processing industries. These conveyors also offer ATEX, Zone 22 certification, ensuring safety in potentially explosive environments. Maintenance is streamlined with self-lubricating intermediate hanger bearings and user-friendly shaft couplings, minimizing downtime and maximizing productivity. Available in various lengths and configurations, the MSC Trough Screw Conveyors deliver on both flexibility and performance, meeting the specific demands of flour and cereal production.
