Trough screw conveyor for transporting grains
Efficiently transport and handle bulk materials like grains and flour with reliability and flexibility, ensuring continuous operations and reducing maintenance time with easily accessible cleanability features.

Transports and Mixes Grain and Feed Efficiently
The Trough Screw Conveyor NFAT by Bühler Group is a versatile equipment solution tailored for efficient grain and feed transport and mixing. Constructed with a modular design, it allows for easy configuration to meet specific processing needs, whether horizontal or vertical conveying is required. Its robust construction ensures durability and long machine life, eliminating wear parts to reduce maintenance costs. Equipped with features like a zero-motion monitor, overflow flap, and material level probe, it provides precise control and monitoring for optimal performance. The conveyor excels in transporting a variety of products, including cornmeal, bread flour, and animal feed, and is integral to processes in industries such as food, grain, and biotechnology. Thanks to its high-speed continuous operation, it efficiently handles solids, powders, and granules, supporting uninterrupted production lines. With its easy-to-clean design, including a removable cover and optional bottom gates, it ensures thorough maintenance and sanitation, critical for food and feed applications.
