Guttridge Bulkflo Mobile screw elevator

• Transferring granular or powdered materials from a lower to a higher point.
• Feeding processing lines with bulk ingredients.
• Loading hoppers or storage silos.
• Moving materials within a production facility where flexibility is required.

Typical throughput

Throughput for this class of screw elevator can vary significantly, typically ranging from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on material density and screw configuration.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, suitable for industrial environments.

Discharge height

Discharge heights for mobile screw elevators are often in the range of 2.5m to 3.5m, designed to clear common receiving hoppers or process equipment.

Material suitability

Stainless steel construction makes these units suitable for food-grade, pharmaceutical, or corrosive materials, as well as general industrial powders and granules.

Screw diameter

Screw diameters on mobile elevators typically range from 100mm to 200mm, influencing the material flow rate and particle size handled.

Mobility

Being mobile, these units are designed for flexible deployment across different processing lines or areas within a facility.
