Conve - Used Spigot Discharge Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring granular or powdered materials from processing equipment to storage.
• Loading bulk materials into packaging machinery or containers.
• Moving waste products or by-products in a controlled manner.
• Feeding ingredients into mixers or other processing stages in food and chemical industries.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Throughput for this class of equipment typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms to several tonnes per hour, depending on material density and conveyor design.

Power supply

Commonly found on units of this type, power requirements are typically 3-phase industrial supply, such as 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying based on length and load.

Material of construction

For handling food or corrosive materials, stainless steel is typical; for general industrial use, painted mild steel is common.

Conveyor type

This often refers to a screw conveyor (auger) or a vibratory conveyor, designed for controlled discharge via a spigot or outlet.

Footprint

The footprint is highly variable, depending on the length and diameter of the conveyor, and whether it is inclined or horizontal.

Discharge mechanism

Units typically feature a controlled spigot or gate valve at the discharge point for precise material flow.
