NNP - NNP Elevator screw conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring granular or powdered ingredients from floor level hoppers to processing machinery.
• Feeding packaging lines with dry bulk products such as spices, coffee beans, or pet food.
• Elevating ingredients within a multi-stage food production process.
• Moving bulk materials in bakeries, confectioneries, and snack food manufacturing.
• Handling dry chemicals or aggregates in non-food industrial settings where stainless steel is beneficial.

Typical Specifications

Typical throughput

For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr, depending on screw design and motor power.

Power supply

Units of this type commonly operate on 3-phase industrial power, typically 400V, 50Hz in the UK.

Construction material

As indicated, this unit is stainless steel, which is standard for food processing applications due to hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Typical elevation range

Elevator screw conveyors commonly offer discharge heights from 1.5m to over 3m, suitable for feeding various processing equipment.

Footprint

The overall length of 1350mm suggests a relatively compact footprint for an elevating conveyor of this capacity.

Maintenance

Maintenance typically involves checking motor bearings, gearbox oil levels, and ensuring the screw is free from build-up.
