Trough screw conveyors for powdery and granular materials
Optimize your material handling process with a flexible screw conveyor system that efficiently manages the flow of powdery and granular substances across diverse applications, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines.
Transports and Processes Powders and Granules Efficiently
The CA Trough Screw Conveyor system from WAMGROUP is engineered to deliver versatile material handling solutions across a range of industries, from pet food and plastics processing to cement and mining. This modular system utilizes helicoid screw flighting within a U or V-shaped design, optimizing transport of powders and granules for applications producing end-products such as plastic pellets and cement powder. With configurations to suit light to extra heavy-duty needs, it ensures efficient integration into existing production lines through features like direct gear motor drives and customizable spout options. The conveyor is ATEX, Zone 22 certified, accommodating high safety standards for hazardous environments. Constructed from carbon steel, it offers robust resistance against wear while maintaining worldwide spare parts availability through WAM subsidiaries.
