NNP 90degree screw conveyor

• Transferring granular or powdered food ingredients between processing stages.
• Feeding packaging machinery with dry food products.
• Moving bulk ingredients from hoppers or silos to mixers.
• Handling waste products or by-products in food processing lines.

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment with a 200mm screw diameter, throughput can typically range from 1 to 5 tonnes per hour, depending on product density and screw speed.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.

Material of construction

Food-grade screw conveyors are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint considerations

The 90-degree infeed design offers space-saving benefits, allowing for more compact line layouts compared to straight conveyors.

Maintenance requirements

Regular maintenance typically involves checking motor and gearbox lubrication, inspecting bearings, and ensuring the screw and trough are clean and free from wear.

Suitable product types

This type of conveyor is generally suitable for free-flowing powders, granules, and small particulate food products.

• What are the benefits of a 90-degree infeed?

  A 90-degree infeed allows for a more compact installation footprint, enabling the conveyor to be fed from a perpendicular direction, which can be advantageous in space-constrained environments.

• Can this conveyor handle sticky or wet products?

• Is this unit suitable for outdoor use?

• What safety features should I look for?

• How easy is it to clean this type of conveyor?

Buyers typically value conveyor systems for their reliability and longevity when well-maintained. Key considerations when purchasing used units include belt condition, motor functionality, frame integrity, and available spare parts. Industry sentiment emphasises the importance of verifying operational history and cleanliness standards, particularly for food handling applications. Common strengths include robust construction, relatively straightforward maintenance requirements, and cost savings versus new equipment. Reputable manufacturers' models tend to hold their value well and integrate readily into existing production lines.
