Tubular trough screw conveyors for gentle powder and granular material handling
Achieve precise powder and granular material management with minimal residue and maintain particle integrity, essential for operations in conveying and feeding processes where consistent quality and efficiency are priorities.
Conveys and Feeds Granular and Powder Materials
The CAO Tubular Trough Screw Conveyor from WAMGROUP is engineered for precision in conveying and feeding powder and granular materials across multiple industries, including flour and animal feed milling. Its modular design, available in both light and medium heavy-duty versions, features robust carbon steel construction with helicoid screw flighting. This setup ensures minimal material residue and preserves particle integrity during transport. The conveyor supports a range of applications from flour milling to animal feed additives processing and is capable of handling products such as bread flour, cornflakes, and pet food.
Equipped with a gear motor, the CAO Conveyor offers seamless integration into high-speed, continuous processes, with customizable configurations to meet specific needs. Its modular sections, available with various inlet and outlet shapes, ensure easy adaptation to existing setups. Compliance with ATEX, Zone 22 standards adds another layer of safety, making it suitable for potentially explosive environments. Maintenance is streamlined through self-lubricating intermediate bearings and adjustable shaft seals that protect against material infiltration. This conveyor is an optimal choice for operators seeking efficient, reliable material handling solutions with extensive global support for spare parts and engineering assistance.
