Inclined Screw Conveyor – Efficient Powder & Material Handling

Our Inclined Screw Conveyor machine consists of a helical screw blade (flighting) housed inside a U-shaped or tubular casing. The rotation of the screw pushes the material forward while maintaining a controlled flow rate.

Unlike horizontal conveyors, the inclined design allows material movement at various angles, making it ideal for transferring materials between different process levels. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel or mild steel, the conveyor ensures durability, easy cleaning, and hygienic operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an Inclined Screw Conveyor?

An Inclined Screw Conveyor is a powder conveying system designed to move bulk materials upward at an angle, ensuring smooth and continuous material flow.

How does an Inclined Screw Conveyor work?

It uses a rotating helical screw inside a casing that pushes material forward while overcoming the effect of gravity at an inclined angle.

What industries use Inclined Screw Conveyors?

They are used in pharmaceutical, food, chemical, agro, and industrial sectors for transporting powders, granules, and bulk solids.

What is the maximum inclination angle for screw conveyors?

Inclined Screw Conveyors can operate effectively up to 60°, depending on the product flow characteristics.

What materials can be conveyed with an Inclined Screw Conveyor?

They can handle powders, granules, semi-solid materials, grains, resins, and many bulk solids.

Are Inclined Screw Conveyors cGMP compliant?

Yes, our Inclined Screw Conveyors are designed with stainless steel construction and meet cGMP standards for hygienic applications.
