Heavy-Duty Helical Metering and Bulk Solids Conveying

Screw Conveyor
Engineering Schematic & Fabrication View

Overview & Engineering Description

Vids Screw Conveyors and screw feeders are engineered for reliable volumetric feeding, metering, and transferring of dry powders, granules, and pastes between plant units.

Manufactured in heavy-duty 3 mm sheet metal SS304 or wear-resistant steel with precision vertex breaker, knocker, and discharge aids for trouble-free conveying.

System Advantages

Enclosed, dust-free bulk solids movement
Highly accurate volumetric feeding for batching and weighing systems
Capable of horizontal and inclined conveying up to 45 degrees
Low power consumption with high mechanical reliability

Key Features & Specifications

  • Tubular or U-trough design with dust-tight sealed covers
  • Continuous flight, ribbon, or paddle flights tailored to material rheology
  • Direct-drive gearmotors with variable frequency speed regulation
  • Air-purged shaft end seals and heavy-duty outboard bearings
  • Easy-clean drop-bottom troughs available for quick sanitary wash-downs

How It Works: Working Principle

A rotating helical screw flight turns inside the stationary tubular or U-shaped casing, propelling bulk material forward along the trough axis directly into downstream mixers, hoppers, or pneumatic air locks.
