Screw Conveyors
Screw conveyors and screw feeders are the core product lines of Southern Bulk Equipment. It's where we got our start, and where we continue to focus on innovation and providing exceptional value for our customers.
Screw conveyors represent the most economical means of moving free-flowing materials short or moderate distances (usually under 100', but lengths up to 200' are easily accomplished with twin drive conveyors). They have the advantage of being totally enclosed and dust-tight, and very low-maintenance with few wear items compared to belt or pneumatic conveying systems. Screw conveyors can operate on a decline or up to 45 degrees incline with specially-designed screws.
Screw feeders are the most useful means to dispense free and moderately flowing materials from bulk bins and hoppers at a constant rate. They can be sized to pull material out of the largest hoppers at a metered rate, and with the addition of a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) they can be infinitely adjustable to dispense exactly the right amount of material needed for your process. Screw feeders are often inclined and serve as both metering device and conveyor, eliminating the need for separate equipment like a rotary airlock and inclined belt conveyor.
