What is the cost of a screw conveyor?
Screw conveyor pricing varies based on diameter (6" to 12"+), length, configuration (horizontal, inclined, or vertical), material grade (carbon steel, 304 SS, or 316 sanitary SS), and integration requirements. Because each unit is engineered-to-order, pricing is available on request. Contact Jersey Crusher at 973-686-5999 or email sales@jerseycrusher.com for a tailored quote.
How much does a conveyor belt cost per foot?
Unlike belt conveyors, screw conveyors are priced as complete engineered systems rather than per foot. Cost is influenced by diameter, total conveyor length, material construction, drive configuration, and any custom integration points. For an accurate per-foot or per-system cost estimate, Jersey Crusher engineers recommend a free application consultation and sample evaluation before quoting.
What diameter screw conveyors are available?
Jersey Crusher offers standard screw conveyor diameters from 6 inches up to 12 inches, with custom diameters available for higher-throughput or space-constrained applications. The appropriate diameter is determined by required throughput, material bulk density, and particle size. Engineers can recommend the optimal size based on your product sample and flow rate targets.
What materials of construction are available for screw conveyors?
Screw conveyors are available in carbon steel with blue enamel finish, 304 stainless steel, and 316 sanitary stainless steel. For food, pharmaceutical, and sugar industry applications, 316 SS is recommended due to its corrosion resistance and FDA-adjacent sanitary construction compliance. Abrasion-resistant variants are also available for aggressive mineral or chemical bulk solids.
What configurations are available for screw conveyors?
Jersey Crusher screw conveyors are available in horizontal, inclined, vertical, portable, sanitary, and flexible configurations. Each configuration addresses specific plant layout constraints and material characteristics. Portable units support multi-site deployment, while flexible screw conveyors are particularly effective for preventing cross-contamination in food and fertilizer applications.
Which industries use screw conveyors?
Screw conveyors serve food processing, sugar, chemical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, animal feed, fertilizer, mineral, wood processing, mining, wastewater treatment, biomass, recycling, spice, and grain industries. Jersey Crusher's enclosed design is especially valued in hygiene-critical and dust-sensitive environments where open belt or bucket conveyors create contamination or compliance risks.
Can screw conveyors handle wet or sticky materials?
Yes. Jersey Crusher's enclosed screw conveyors are specifically engineered to handle wet, sticky, and compacted materials that standard belt or bucket conveyors cannot manage. The rotating auger mechanism moves difficult bulk solids reliably while the enclosed tube construction prevents external contamination, dust escape, and operator exposure to process materials.
