Mechanical Conveying

Applicon builds a wide variety of mechanical conveyors, including:

Flexible screw conveyors from 3 to 6” diameter. These are useful for a wide variety of free flowing dry bulk solids, and some more difficult powders. Generally used for distances of less than 40 ft., and throughput of less than 500 cu.ft. per hour.

Auger feeders, ½” to 12” diameter. These can be volumetric, or loss-in-weight, with static hoppers or stirred/agitated hopper.

Flat drag conveyors, for high rate of free flowing materials in a straight line path. Construction in mild, stainless or AR construction.

Loss-in-weight feeder

Tubular drag conveyors, for completely closed conveyance in straight or multi-axis path, typically over distances less than 200 ft. Mild or stainless construction.

Belt conveyors and bucket elevators provide the highest mass flow rates, to hundreds of tons per hour.
