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).
