The auger conveyors are widely used in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical and plastics industries for conveying; they provide equal efficacy for powders, granules, ground materials, and mixtures.
8 winning features of a flexible auger conveyor
- Preventing demixing, during conveyance, of mixed and batched products;
- Homogenizing during transportation;
- Conveying several combinations;
- Preventing pollution because tightly sealed and mechanical;
- Quiet operation at the workplace;
- Being introduced into existing systems thanks to the flexible screw and to the flexible hose;
- Loading and unloading at any point of the line;
- Overcoming significant vertical drops and covering substantial distances.
Flexible Spiral Conveyors with a tube having a diameter from 40 mm – 140 mm are suitable for the characteristics of the material being transported. Load capacity from 120 kg/h-10,000 kg/h. The real load capacity also depends on the following factors:
- Flexible Helix Conveyor rotation speed;
- Pick up inclination;
- Fluency of material;
- Type of pick up: suitably shaped hopper, silo, barrel, heap.

For capacity in kg/h multiply for bulk density of your product. The transportation potentialities depend on several variables and therefore the tabulated values are understood as approximate. It is assumed pick-up will be performed with:
- Transported material: free flowing granular powder;
- Apparent specific weight 1 kg/dm³;
- Initial pick-up length having inclination α = 30°;
- Rotary spiral with 580 rpm (except MAR 140) (930 rpm applications are also possible).
Upon request either the flexible screw conveyor either shaftless screw conveyor can be designed and built in conformity to ATEX Directive 4/9/CE for Zone 2-22 / Zone 1-21
