Screw Conveyor

Screw Conveyor for Continuous, Enclosed Material Transfer

A screw conveyor is a material handling system that uses a rotating helical screw (auger) inside a trough or tubular casing to move bulk materials — such as paddy, rice, bran, husk, or milled powders — from one point to another along a mill's process line.

Agromach builds its screw conveyors in mild steel, stainless steel (SS304/SS316), or galvanized steel construction, with horizontal, inclined, or vertical configurations available — suited to the continuous, dust-sensitive material flows found in rice mills, flour mills, dal mills, and feed mills.

  • Moves grain, bran, husk, or powder via enclosed rotating screw
  • Horizontal, inclined, or vertical orientation available
  • MS, SS304/SS316, or galvanized steel construction
  • Enclosed, dust-tight design reduces spillage and contamination

Common Problems in Rice Mill Material Handling

Without a reliable conveying system, moving grain, bran, and milling by-products between stages creates several issues:

  • Manual or open handling of bran/husk causes dust and spillage
  • Inconsistent, non-continuous feed disrupts downstream operations
  • Open transfer systems expose grain and bran to contamination
  • Higher manual labor requirements between processing stages
  • Increased maintenance and cleanup from spilled material

Inefficient material transfer directly limits a mill's throughput and increases operating costs.

How Agromach's Screw Conveyor Solves This

Agromach's screw conveyor provides an enclosed, continuous-feed solution for transferring grain, bran, husk, and powder between processing stages, replacing manual handling with a controlled mechanical system.

Enclosed, continuous conveying keeps material contained from inlet to discharge.

  • Enclosed trough/casing minimizes dust and spillage
  • Continuous feeding supports uninterrupted production
  • Reduces manual labor needed for moving bulk material
  • Removable covers and doors simplify cleaning and maintenance
  • Available in food-grade stainless steel for hygiene-sensitive points

Reliable, enclosed conveying keeps grain and bran moving cleanly through every stage of the mill.

Agromach Screw Conveyor — Rugged & Enclosed

Agromach's screw conveyors are built around a straightforward, rugged design suited to continuous mill operation.

Key Features

  • Rotating helical screw mounted on a central shaft
  • Trough or tubular casing fully enclosing the material path
  • Bearings at both ends and along the shaft for support
  • Electric geared motor drive with optional variable speed
  • Removable covers and inspection/cleaning doors
  • MS, SS304, or SS316 construction depending on requirements

Configurable to Your Plant Layout

Agromach screw conveyors are available for:

  • Horizontal, inclined, or vertical installation
  • Short-distance or longer in-plant transfer runs
  • Powder, bran, husk, or whole-grain handling
  • Integration with hoppers, bins, and mixing stations

This flexibility lets one conveyor design fit multiple points in the mill.

Types Available

  • Screw Conveyor
  • Auger Conveyor
  • Grain Screw Conveyor
  • Bran Screw Conveyor
  • U-Trough Screw Conveyor
  • Inclined/Vertical Screw Conveyor

Applications

  • Rice mills — transferring paddy, rice, bran, and husk
  • Flour and dal mills — moving grain and powder
  • Feed mills — conveying grain and feed ingredients
  • General bulk handling of powders and granules

Screw Conveyor Price

The screw conveyor price depends on:

  • Screw diameter and overall conveyor length
  • Material of construction (MS vs. SS304/SS316 vs. galvanized)
  • Required capacity/throughput (tonnes per hour)
  • Orientation and configuration or custom design needs
  • Motor/drive specification including variable speed control

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials can a screw conveyor handle in a rice mill? +
It can convey grains, bran, husk, and milled powders, moving these bulk materials between different stages of the milling process.
What orientations are screw conveyors available in? +
They can be installed horizontally, inclined, or vertical, depending on the plant layout and elevation change needed.
What materials of construction are used? +
Common options include mild steel, stainless steel (SS304/SS316), and galvanized steel, chosen based on hygiene and corrosion-resistance needs.
Why use an enclosed screw conveyor instead of open/manual handling? +
An enclosed trough or tubular casing reduces dust generation, minimizes spillage, and lowers contamination risk compared to open transfer methods.
