Auger Screw Feeder :
The Auger Screw Feeder is designed for controlled and efficient handling of bulk materials such as powders and fine granules. The system consists of a feed hopper, a vertical screw (auger), and a motorized drive unit.
Material is fed into the hopper and conveyed vertically through the rotating screw, ensuring uniform and continuous discharge. This system is ideal for applications requiring metered feeding and compact installation.
Key Features :
- Compact and vertical design - saves floor space
- Uniform and controlled material feeding
- Enclosed system for dust-free operation
- Robust construction with low maintenance
- Suitable for continuous and batch processes
- Easy integration with silos, hoppers, or process lines
Applications :
- Fly ash and cement feeding systems
- Powder transfer in pollution control equipment
- Biomass and ash handling
- Chemical and fertilizer industries
- Food-grade material handling (with SS construction)
Construction Details (Based on Attached Equipment) :
- Hopper : Square feed hopper with bottom discharge
- Screw Assembly : Vertical auger inside pipe casing
- Drive Unit : Top-mounted motor with gearbox
- Support Structure : Rigid mounting for vibration-free operation
- Discharge : Bottom outlet for direct process feeding
Technical Specifications (Typical) :
- Capacity : 0.5 to 50 TPH
- Screw Diameter : 100 mm to 400 mm
- Length/Height : Up to 10 meters
- Speed : 30 - 120 RPM
- Material : MS / SS (as per application)
- Drive : Geared motor (flange or shaft mounted)
Advantages :
- Ideal for vertical lifting of powders
- Precise feeding and dosing capability
- Minimal material spillage
- Compact footprint
- Customizable design
Limitations :
- Not suitable for very large lump materials
- Requires proper sealing for fine powders
- Wear may occur with abrasive materials
Optional Features :
- Variable speed drive (VFD)
- Level sensors in hopper
- Wear-resistant liners
- Food-grade finishing (SS 304/316)
- Dust extraction connection
