Used - Used Stainless Steel Auger

Applications & Use Cases

• Transferring powders, granules, and small bulk solids in food processing.
• Moving dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, and spices.
• Handling chemical compounds and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Feeding packaging machinery or mixing tanks.
• Conveying waste products or by-products in various industrial settings.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Typically ranges from a few hundred kilograms per hour to several tonnes per hour, depending on auger diameter and pitch.

Power supply

Commonly requires a 3-phase electrical supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor sizes varying based on throughput and material density.

Material of construction

For this unit, it is stated as stainless steel, which is standard for hygiene-critical applications.

Auger diameter

Typically ranges from 100mm to 300mm, influencing throughput and suitability for different particle sizes.

Length

Lengths vary significantly, from short transfer units of 1-2 metres to longer conveying systems of 10+ metres.

Orientation

Can be horizontal, inclined, or vertical, depending on the specific application requirements.

Suitable feed sizes

Best suited for free-flowing powders, granules, and small, non-abrasive bulk solids. Not ideal for sticky or very large lump materials.
