NNP 90degree Screw Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring granular or powdered food ingredients between processing stages.
• Feeding packaging machinery with dry food products.
• Moving bulk ingredients from hoppers or silos to mixers.
• Handling waste products or by-products in food processing lines.

Typical Specifications

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.
