What is a Screw Conveyor?
A screw conveyor is a continuous conveying device that uses rotating screw blades to forcefully move materials; it is primarily used to convey various powdered, granular, and small lump materials. Screw conveyors feature a simple structure, excellent sealing performance, convenient operation, low power consumption, and versatility, capable of conveying materials horizontally, at an incline, or vertically. In a screw conveyor, the material does not move relative to the screw blades but is pushed toward the discharge end as the blades rotate. This enables sealed conveying, reducing material spillage and waste. Screw conveyors are cost-effective, have high conveying capacity, and operate smoothly and quietly, allowing them to perform special tasks that other conveying equipment cannot accomplish.
動作原理
When the screw shaft rotates, material is driven forward by the combined action of gravity and friction between the material and the trough wall. Under the pushing force of the rotating screw blades, the material moves continuously along the bottom of the conveyor. This motion is similar to a non-rotating nut translating along a rotating screw. The primary conveying force is generated by the tangential and axial components of the blade rotation, which push the material upward and forward.
Structural Design & Material Movement
To maintain the screw shaft in a favorable tensile condition, the drive unit and discharge outlet are typically positioned at the same end, while the inlet is located near the opposite tail end. During operation, the rotating blades continuously push the material forward. The resistance preventing the material from rotating with the screw includes its own weight and friction against the conveyor casing, ensuring stable axial movement instead of rotation.
Blade Types & Mechanical Support
Screw blade design varies based on material characteristics, including solid (continuous flight), ribbon, and paddle types, to optimize conveying performance. A thrust bearing is installed at the discharge end to absorb axial forces generated during operation. For longer conveyors, intermediate hanger bearings are required to support the shaft, maintain alignment, and ensure stable, long-distance conveying performance.
Screw Conveyor Structure
A screw conveyor mainly consists of three parts: the screw body, the inlet, and the outlet. The core component is the screw blade mounted on the central shaft. The motor drives the screw blade to rotate, thereby conveying materials.
- Drive Unit (Motor & Gearbox): Provides stable rotational power and torque, ensuring continuous and efficient material conveying performance.
- Screw Shaft & Helical Flight: The rotating shaft with welded or formed flights moves materials along the conveyor length.
- Trough or Tube Housing: Encloses the screw assembly, preventing material leakage and protecting the system from external contamination.
- Bearing System (End & Intermediate Bearings): Supports the screw shaft, reduces friction, and maintains alignment during operation.
- Sealing System: Prevents dust leakage and material spillage, ensuring clean and safe operation in industrial environments.
- Inlet Hopper & Outlet Discharge: Designed for smooth material feeding and controlled discharge, improving overall handling efficiency.
- Inspection & Maintenance Ports: Allow easy access for cleaning, inspection, and routine maintenance to minimise downtime.
Types of Screw Conveyors
Based on the eight configurations shown in the figure, a brief description is provided below:
- Inclined large hopper: A large-capacity hopper combined with an inclined conveyor, suitable for bulk feeding via manual loading or ton bags, reducing the frequency of feeding. Ideal for powders and granules.
- Motor top mount: The motor is mounted at the top to prevent material contamination of drive components, making it suitable for applications with hygiene or dust-proof requirements.
- Vertical standard: Vertical lifting with a small footprint, designed for space-constrained environments and suitable for short-distance vertical conveying.
- Parallel transfer: Horizontal layout with a simple and stable structure, suitable for point-to-point conveying within workshops or connecting equipment.
- Inclined mobile: Equipped with casters for mobility, featuring inclined feeding; suitable for shared use across multiple workstations or temporary production lines.
- Irregular top mount: Customised for special installation angles or spaces, addressing integration challenges with irregularly shaped workstations.
- U horizontal: U-shaped trough structure, facilitating cleaning and maintenance; suitable for continuous conveying of standard powders.
- Custom large hopper cover: Large hopper with a sealed cover, providing dust and moisture protection, suitable for environments with high requirements or materials with volatile properties.

- Material Selection: Carbon steel or stainless steel (304/316) is chosen based on corrosion resistance, hygiene standards, and the nature of the material being handled.
- Diameter & Capacity: The screw diameter directly affects conveying capacity. Larger diameters are suitable for higher throughput and bulk handling requirements.
- Length & Layout: Equipment length is customised according to plant layout, supporting flexible installation in limited or complex spaces.
- Inclination Angle: Systems can be designed for horizontal, inclined, or vertical conveying, depending on process requirements and site conditions.
- Screw & Flight Type: Shafted screws are suitable for dry materials, while shaftless designs handle sticky or fibrous materials. Flight types such as continuous, ribbon, or paddle are selected based on material flow characteristics.

Tubular Screw Conveyor vs U-Trough Screw Conveyor
U-Trough Screw Conveyor
The U-shaped screw conveyor is a type of screw conveyor well-suited for small-scale operations and stable material transport, making it highly effective in settings with spatial constraints. It offers excellent sealing performance, providing significant advantages in environments where dust control or environmental compliance is critical, as it effectively prevents dust generation during transport. However, U-shaped screw conveyors are not ideal for long-distance transport, entail higher costs, and can cause damage—such as crushing—to fragile materials.
Tubular screw conveyors are unsuitable for transporting materials that are prone to spoilage, highly viscous, or prone to caking. Such materials tend to adhere to the screw flighting and rotate with it rather than advancing, or they may form blockages at the hanger bearings, thereby preventing the conveyor from operating correctly. The LS-series screw conveyor comes in five specifications with screw diameters ranging from 200 mm to 500 mm and lengths spanning 4 m to 70 m (in 0.5 m increments); while standard nominal lengths are used for selection, custom configurations are available to meet specific requirements.
