Helix® Flexible Screw Conveyor
Versatile, Cost-Effective Bulk Material Handling
Designed to streamline the movement of bulk materials—ranging from powders and granules to other dry solids—ensuring smooth and consistent transport.
Elevate Your Bulk Material Handling with Flexible Screw Conveyors
A flexible screw conveyor (also known as a Helix conveyor, spiral conveyor, screw conveyor, or auger conveyor) is a type of mechanical conveying system that uses a helical screw or non-fixed shaft auger enclosed within a tube. As the screw rotates, it effectively moves materials from the lower intake (feed) point to the elevated discharge point. It stands out by offering a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness, with quick delivery, making it a smart choice for modern bulk material handling.
Benefits of a Flexible Screw Conveyor
► Space-Efficient Design: Their unique structure allows these conveyors to navigate tight spaces and around obstacles, maximizing available floor space.
► Versatility: Capable of handling various materials, flexible screw conveyors are excellent for material transportation as well as batching and blending applications.
► Easy Installation: With fewer parts and a straightforward design, these conveyors are simple to install. Their forgiving design allows major equipment to be placed first, with the Helix then positioned as needed—offering far more flexibility in choosing the ideal locations for both inlet and discharge.
► Low Maintenance: The enclosed design minimizes material spillage and wear, leading to lower maintenance costs and increased operational longevity.
Models
Hi/Lo Flexible Screw Conveyors
- Keeps workers at ground level, not on ladders or lifts, with a three-phase linear actuator which allows the operator to easily lower the conveyor.
- Move from room to room easily with portable base. Fully assembled conveyor fits through standard-height doors.
- Reach discharge heights up to 12 feet.
USDA (Dairy Grade)
- Certificate of acceptance for compliance with USDA guidelines for the sanitary design and fabrication of dairy processing equipment or applicable USDA dairy grade sanitary standards. Hapman is the industry’s only flexible screw conveyor manufacturer listed by the USDA for dairy grade applications.
P-300
- FDA-approved UHMW polyethylene discharge and hopper reduce the cost compared to the stainless steel model.
- Lightweight and easy to maintain.
- Quick-Ship (ship in 48 hours).
