A screw conveyor or auger conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating helical screw blade. It is used in many bulk handling industries. Screw conveyors are often used horizontally or at a slight incline as an efficient way to move semi-solid materials.Screw conveyors can be operated with the flow of material inclined upward.
Screw conveyors can move bulk materials horizontally, on an incline or vertically. To feed, distribute, collect or mix.

Screw conveyors can be made from mild steel, 304 stainless or 316 stainless steel.
Shafted and shaft less conveyors are available.
The type of material to be conveyed and its characteristics are very important when
sizing screw conveyors. Particle size, flow ability, abrasiveness and numerous other
properties need to be considered.
