- Typical throughput
- Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on screw diameter, pitch, and motor power.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly operate on a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.
- Material of construction
- For food processing applications, screw conveyors are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316 grade) to meet hygiene standards.
- Elevation range
- Mobile screw conveyors commonly offer adjustable elevation, typically ranging from floor level up to 2-3 metres, suitable for feeding various processing equipment.
- Screw diameter
- Common screw diameters for this type of unit range from 100mm to 250mm, influencing material flow and capacity.
- Integrated weighing
- Units with integrated scales commonly handle batch weights up to 50kg, suitable for precise ingredient dosing.
- Mobility
- Many smaller and medium-sized screw conveyors are designed to be mobile, featuring castors for easy relocation within a facility.
