Product Description

The flexible screw conveyor is a special conveying equipment designed to address "space limitations" and "cleanliness requirements". It achieves complex material path planning within a limited space by adopting a "softness overcomes hardness" approach.

Working principle and core structure

Its working principle is fundamentally different from that of traditional screw conveyors:

Core component - Shaftless screw

It is not an axis with blades, but an integrated helical body rolled from high-strength spring steel, shaped like a long and tough helical spring.

Drive mode

One end of this helical spring is directly driven to rotate by the drive motor.

Conveying principle

When this flexible spiral rotates at high speed inside the soft U-shaped plastic or rubber tube, it will act like a rapidly twisting "snake", generating a forward axial thrust, thereby pushing the material forward.

The material is actually "sliding" along the hose under the push of the screw rather than being "carried".

Highlight the features and advantages

Extremely high flexibility

The greatest advantage: It can be horizontally, inclinedly, vertically, and even bypass obstacles for three-dimensional curved conveying. This provides great convenience for equipment connection in complex workshop layouts.

Fully sealed and pollution-free

The materials are conveyed in a sealed hose, which will not leak and will not be polluted by the environment. It is very suitable for the food, pharmaceutical, chemical and other industries.

Easy to install and move

It is lightweight in structure, does not require complex brackets or foundations, and is very easy to install. It can be designed as mobile and used flexibly between different workstations.

Easy to clean

This is a major advantage for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Just separate the hose from the screw, and both can be cleaned quickly and thoroughly without any hygiene dead corners.

Economical and practical

Compared with building a complex system consisting of multiple traditional conveyors (such as horizontal screw + elevator + horizontal screw), a flexible screw conveyor is usually less costly and more energy-efficient.

Typical application scenarios

Due to its unique flexibility, it shines brightly in the following occasions:

Food industry: Transporting raw materials such as flour and sugar from the warehouse to the mixer; Feeding the packaging machine.

Pharmaceutical industry: Conveying powder and granular raw materials in clean areas.

Chemical industry: Conveying plastic pellets, dyes, etc.

Laboratory and small-batch production: It is used for flexible conveying of various materials and is easy to clean when changing materials.
