Screw Elevators are widely used in all industries for the handling of bulk solids. The screw elevator has a small footprint, making it ideal for movement and operation within the tight confines of an industrial plant or warehouse. For an efficient operation the design has to be matched for the specific duty and characteristics of the bulk material to be handled. Particular care is required with in-feed arrangements for optimum performance.
