Screw conveyors are one of the oldest conveying methods known to man and still the ideal method for many applications. Though screw conveyors and augers are technically synonymous (any conveyance method driven by rotating threads) the processing...
Conveyors
Magnetic Conveyors
Magnetic conveyors use magnetic fields to transport and manipulate bulk materials either by moving a magnetic belt or gripping ferrous materials through the belt for sorting. These conveyors are commonly used in industries such as mining,...
Vibratory Conveyors
Vibratory conveyors use vibrations to move bulk materials. These conveyors are commonly used in industries such as mining, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and agriculture, where the efficient handling of materials is critical to maintaining...
Spiral Conveyors
Spiral conveyors move units of product vertically where floor space is limited or the product needs to be travelling through multiple floors of a facility. (See bucket elevators for vertical movement of bulk material). Spiral conveyors are...
Tubular Drag Conveying Systems
Tubular Drag ConveyorsTubular drag conveyors are great for most non-abraisive, free-flowing products including powders, pellets, and granules. Capacities can vary depending on the configuration and product, but as a reference, tubular drag...
Tube Belt & U-Belt Conveyors
Tube belt conveyors and u-belt conveyors are most commonly used in industrial settings to transport bulk materials. They are open along the run where product is being loaded, then are closed by devices and rollers. However, there are some key...
Bucket Elevators
Bucket elevators are used to vertically lift bulk materials. They consist of a series of buckets attached to a belt or chain, which runs over a pulley or sprocket at the top and bottom of the unit. The buckets scoop up material at the bottom and...
Chain Conveyors
Chain conveyors, not to be confused with chain-driven belt conveyors, use gear-driven chains to move materials along a conveyor path. Depending on the design these conveyors can move large, heavy objects such as boxes and pallets, or they can move...
Roller Conveyors
Roller conveyors use rollers, bearings, and a little bit of gravity to transport products and materials. They are commonly used in manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution centers to move items efficiently and accurately. Benefits One of the...
Cleated Belt Conveyors
Cleated belt conveyors are standard conveyors with raised edges (cleats) to keep product in place and prevent it from sliding or falling off the belt as it moves. This allows greater capacity and conveyance up slopes. The cleats can be made of...
Corrugated Belt Conveyors
Corrugated belts feature walls which are expandable so they can wrap around pulleys, and are usually combined with cleats to form buckets. This configuration can be helpful indoors when wanting to increase the carrying capacity of the belt or for...
Pneumatic Conveyors
Pneumatic conveyors use pressurized air (CO2 or nitrogen can be used to keep temperatures low) to move materials through a pipeline. This type of conveying system is widely used in a variety of industries, including chemical, pharmaceutical, food...
Flat Belt Conveyors
Flat belt conveyors are the simplest and most common of conveying methods and are used for relatively lower capacity/speed applications. They can be used on slopes up to a maximum of 25° for sticky solids, but applications where flat-belts are...
Trough Belt Conveyors
Trough conveyors are belt conveyors where the bed or idle pulleys are shaped to bend the belt and cup the product. This improves the belt’s carrying capacity by helping the product mound and provides a degree of protection from elements and...
