Auger - COMPLETE LINE: Filler Incline Conveyor With Gantry

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring granular or powdered food products from a lower to a higher elevation.
• Feeding packaging machinery with dry ingredients such as spices, grains, or coffee.
• Moving bulk ingredients like sugar, flour, or seeds within a processing plant.
• Loading hoppers or storage silos with free-flowing food materials.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from 500 kg/hr to 5,000 kg/hr, depending on screw diameter, pitch, and motor power.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor power ranging from 1.5 kW to 5.5 kW.

Construction material

For food processing applications, these conveyors are typically constructed from food-grade stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Footprint

The overall footprint will vary significantly based on the incline angle and discharge height, but typically requires several square metres of floor space for the conveyor and gantry.

Suitable product types

This equipment is best suited for dry, free-flowing, non-abrasive, and semi-abrasive powdered or granular products.

Maintenance requirements

Routine maintenance typically involves checking motor bearings, gearbox oil levels, and ensuring the screw and trough are clean and free from build-up.
