Helix® Flexible Screw Conveyor
Elevate Your Bulk Material Handling
Flexible screw conveyors (also known as spiral conveyors, screw conveyors, or auger conveyors) provide a simple, efficient way to move bulk materials through your process. Their flexible design allows for easy integration into existing systems, making them a practical solution for a wide range of applications.
How Do Flexible Screw Conveyors Work?
A flexible screw conveyor operates by rotating a helical screw (auger) within a tube. As the screw turns, it generates both directional and centrifugal forces that move material from the intake point through the tube to the discharge point. Because the screw is the only moving part, the system delivers consistent material flow while minimizing mechanical complexity.
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).
