Screw Conveyor Parts & Components Guide

A screw conveyor system consists of a trough or housing, a rotating screw or auger assembly, inlet hopper, discharge outlet, drive unit (motor and gearbox), end bearings or hanger bearings, seals, and covers. Each component works in concert to move bulk materials efficiently from one point to another.

A screw conveyor works by rotating a helical screw inside a trough or tube. As the screw turns, its flighting pushes bulk material along the length of the trough toward a discharge point. The speed, screw diameter, and pitch determine flow rate. It is ideal for powders, granules, and semi-solid bulk materials.
