A screw conveyor, also known as an auger conveyor, employs a rotating helical screw blade, referred to as flighting, typically enclosed within a tube, to transport liquid or granular materials. Widely utilized across various bulk handling sectors, these conveyors prove particularly efficient for horizontally or slightly inclined movement of semi-solid substances in contemporary industries. Common applications involve the conveyance of materials such as food waste, wood chips, aggregates, cereal grains, animal feed, boiler ash, meat and bone meal, municipal solid waste, among others. The versatility of screw conveyors makes them integral in modern industrial processes.
