Agriculture is the most significant driving factor for the growth of developing countries. According to The World Bank, agriculture will end poverty and provide prosperity for people on a large scale. This will not only include the production of food grains but also provide employment to people working in the fields and provide employment to manufacturers as large production of agriculture needs equipment to complete the tasks quickly.

One such piece of equipment in the agriculture sector is screw conveyors. The use of screw conveyors is widespread in the field of agriculture. Screw conveyors have the ability to mix various products and break large lumps easily. They are very adjustable as they smoothly function in congested locations.

The screw conveyor’s quality of having several inlet points and discharge points along with side gates and valves makes it extremely easy to use. In addition, screw conveyors are designed without a center pipe too.

Key Developments in Screw Conveyor Landscape

This is known as a shaftless screw conveyor. This conveyor conveys sluggish, wet, sticky products like biosolids and sludges.

For instance, Conveyor Engineering & Manufacturing, a key industry player, focuses on providing solutions that would cover a wide range. The end users demand equipment that would keep the work fast-paced.

The company has equipment that is abrasion and corrosion-resistant that would not need maintenance. The company has worked for gaining standard certifications. The company is FDA/USDA certified. Another key player in the screw conveyor market, KWS Manufacturing Company, focuses on customizing applications.

End users demand screw conveyors that would not get damaged and would last long in changing environments. Thus, the company provides screw conveyors that are enclosed for corrosive and hazardous environments.

Screw conveyors are primarily employed for handling various materials that have relatively good flowability. Easy construction, design simplicity, and maintenance are the key factors that attract end-users to the product. A screw conveyor consists of several components, which include a drive unit, conveyor casting, inlet, hanging bearing, screw blade, inlet & outlet, and others.

Screw conveyors are utilized in several applications, which include feed mills, cereal processing plants, grain storage plants, chemical plants, and foundry shops for mixing machines. Several types of screw conveyors are available in the market for end-use industries, which include vertical screw conveyors, inclined screw conveyors, shaftless screw conveyors, horizontal screw conveyors, and others.

Generally, the angle of inclination of the inclined conveyor is between 10° to 20°. Screw conveyor machines have been set as the standard of reliability across the manufacturing sites. Further, they have various functions, which include materials that are moved forward along the axis of the container by the push of a screw machine.
