NNP Elevator screw conveyor

• Transferring granular or powdered ingredients from floor level hoppers to processing machinery.
• Feeding packaging lines with bulk products like spices, coffee beans, or pet food.
• Elevating ingredients within a multi-stage food production process.
• Moving dry bulk materials in bakeries, snack food production, and confectionery plants.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, throughput can vary significantly based on product density and screw speed, but typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 3,000 kg/hr.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power ranging from 0.75 kW to 2.2 kW.

Material of construction

As indicated, stainless steel is standard for food processing applications, ensuring hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Elevation range

This unit offers an elevation from 300mm to 1200mm, which is common for feeding intermediate height processing equipment or hoppers.

Screw diameter

A 100mm screw diameter is suitable for a wide range of free-flowing powders and granules.

Footprint

With an overall length of 2900mm, this unit requires a moderate footprint, which should be considered for plant layout.

• What types of products are suitable for this screw conveyor?
