Modular screw conveyor designed for the demanding food industry
SCREW is a modular system that includes both tubular and trough screw conveyors. Designed for the demanding food industry, SCREW can be used as a dosing, mixing or collecting screw for granular and powdery products. It can operate horizontally and at slight inclines up to 15°. The robust construction and high quality components support dust-free and low-maintenance operation. In addition, they allow standard use in ATEX Zone 22.
To ensure a continuous mass flow, SCREW features a symmetrical inlet with a stepped thread. Together with optional monitoring elements such as a level sensor, this guarantees a high degree of process reliability. The low installation height, combined with stepless rotation using a sliding block, simplifies installation, especially in existing plants. SCREW features a remote gearbox and is additionally shielded with a double shaft seal for optimal protection. Any leaks can be quickly identified, ensuring a consistently high level of food and process safety. In proven SWISCA fashion, SCREW is made entirely of stainless steel. The screw is fully welded, and detectable blue seals are used. Removable covers and optional hatches provide easy access to the product area of the trough screw conveyor for easy cleaning.
