A Versatile, Effective and Simple Conveying Solution with Custom Options to Minimize Downtime

Screw conveyors are a common equipment selection for thousands of industrial and manufacturing applications that require an efficient, cost-effective way to move a variety of bulk materials from one process to another. However, a screw conveyor is not a one-size-fits-all solution. If misapplied, this equipment will experience breakdowns that result in lost revenues from production downtime.

Number One

Single- or multiple-screw configuration depending on required feed rate and hopper design

Number Two

Variable frequency drives for multiple feed rates to downstream processes

Number Three

Mass- or uniform-flow discharge with no bridging or rat-holing of the material in hopper

Many of our customers consider CDM’s custom-engineered screw conveyors to be an ideal solution for their bulk material handling challenges because:

  • They handle the full gamut of materials, from semi-fluid to dry and from sluggish to free-flowing.
  • Their multiple inlet and discharge points allow the efficient distribution of bulk materials to various locations.
  • Their operation consists of a single rotating screw, which equates to easier and less-frequent maintenance.
  • They transfer product inside a totally enclosed tube, minimizing hazards associated with corrosive and other dangerous materials
