Incline Screw Conveyor

Incline Screw Conveyor

Varahi Industries’ Incline Screw Conveyor transports bulk materials at an angle for reliable lifting of powders, granules, and particulates from one level to another. A rotating helical flight inside a U-trough or enclosed O-tube maintains smooth, consistent flow even on upward inclines.

The screw is mounted on a central shaft and powered by a gearbox–motor set. For precise throughput control, an optional VFD adjusts speed based on material characteristics and process requirements—delivering a low-maintenance, energy-efficient solution for continuous duty.

Working Principle

Design & Construction

  • Central shaft with precision-formed helical flights; constant or variable pitch.
  • U-trough (easy access) or O-tube (dust-tight) configurations.
  • Heavy-duty end bearings, intermediate hangers for long runs, and effective seals.
  • Gearbox–motor with guards; inspection doors and clean-out ports.
  • Materials of construction: MS, SS 304/316 per hygiene/corrosion needs.

Options & Controls

  • VFD for variable speed and gentle handling of fragile products.
  • Dust-tight covers, venting, and wear liners for abrasive materials.
  • Level sensors, interlocks, and synchronization with upstream equipment.
  • Easy-clean design with removable covers and quick-release sections.

Key Benefits

  • Reliable uphill conveying with compact footprint.
  • Energy-efficient, low-maintenance operation for continuous duty.
  • Consistent, controllable throughput with VFD speed tuning.
  • Dust-tight options enhance plant hygiene and safety.
