- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment with a 200mm screw diameter, throughput can typically range from 1 to 5 tonnes per hour, depending on product density and screw speed.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz.
- Material of construction
- Food-grade screw conveyors are typically constructed from stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
- Footprint considerations
- The 90-degree infeed design offers space-saving benefits, allowing for more compact line layouts compared to straight conveyors.
- Maintenance requirements
- Regular maintenance typically involves checking motor and gearbox lubrication, inspecting bearings, and ensuring the screw and trough are clean and free from wear.
- Suitable product types
- This type of conveyor is generally suitable for free-flowing powders, granules, and small particulate food products.
