- Typical throughput
- Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 3000 kg/hr, depending on product density and screw design.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Construction material
- Most incline auger conveyors are constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and corrosion resistance, particularly in food and pharmaceutical applications.
- Footprint
- The footprint varies significantly with discharge height and incline angle, but typically requires a floor area of 2m x 1.5m to 4m x 2m for the conveyor and gantry.
- Suitable product types
- This equipment is best suited for free-flowing to semi-free-flowing powders, granules, and small particulate materials.
- Maintenance requirements
- Routine maintenance typically involves checking motor and gearbox function, inspecting the auger screw for wear, and cleaning contact parts.
