Types of Screw Conveyors
One of the leading screw conveyors manufacturers in India, we are providing the best quality
of screw conveyors such as:
- Industrial Screw Conveyors: Industrial screw conveyors find their usage
most widely among all types of material handling type in all industries. Industrial
screw conveyors are specially designed for transferring huge volumes of material in a
powdery, granular, or semifluid state. Industrial screw conveyors are the best of the
best in the case of material handling such as grains, chemicals, and plastics, etc.
- Tube Screw Conveyor: Tube screw conveyors are contained in a tube and
therefore provide additional protection to materials being conveyed. It is most suited
to conveying finer powders or materials which might be hazardous or prone to
contamination. Covered type provides cleaner and safer working condition for the
personnel as well as material.
- Tubular Screw Conveyor: Just like tube screw conveyors, tubular screw
conveyors employ a tubular casing but are usually heavier and for heavy material flow.
Tubular screw conveyors are best used in heavy-duty applications where ruggedness and heavy
capacity are needed.
- Flexible Screw Conveyor: Screw conveyor is another adjustable and adaptable
conveyor. It has a flexible auger which may be bent and folded into rather a high number of
configurations and can be operated within very confined spaces or even in complex
conditions. Conveyors can be applied to businesses that have to transfer bulk granules or
powders across a confined area or over an awkward zone.
- Lime Screw Conveyor: Lime screw conveyors are made specifically to move and
handle lime and similar materials. Lime screw conveyor is resilient because of the abrasive
nature of lime and is commonly applied in the chemical, cement, and steel industries.

Why Choose Our Screw Conveyors – Features That Matter
As one of the leading screw conveyor suppliers in India, we manufacture all types of screw conveyors using the latest technological advancements. Our conveyors are designed to deliver superior performance, including features such as:
- Customizable Designs: Each industrial application is different. That is why
DELSOL offers custom screw conveyor designs that can be tailored specifically to your needs.
Whether it is an incline conveyor, straight run, or complex system design, our engineers can
design a system that will easily fit into your system.
- Advanced Material Construction: Screw conveyors rely on material with which
screw conveyors are constructed for lasting use. DELSOL makes use of tough but durable
material such as stainless steel and other metals to construct screw conveyors in a manner
that the screw conveyors shall be capable to withstand rough weather and abrasives with
continuous tear and wear.
- Energy Efficient Motors: DELSOL screw conveyors take advantage of advanced
motor control technology to save energy. Our engineered motors cut down on energy use
without lowering efficiency to save businesses money on operational costs.
- Automated Controls and Monitoring: With industries making the shift to
intelligent operations, DELSOL's screw conveyors are being more and more integrated with
automation controls. Our automatic control systems enable precise monitoring of material
flow, speed of the conveyor, and motor efficiency.
Best Screw Conveyor Advantages
Our all types of screw conveyors are highly used in various types of industrial sectors and gives
certain benefits such as:
- Maximum Through-put in Bulk Material Conveying: Screw conveyors are very
efficient in the bulk material conveying operation. They allow free flow of materials over
extremely long distances because of frictionless motion. They are very compatible to carry a
high quantity of commodities.
- Space-Saving and Compact Design: The most advantageous aspect of screw
conveyors is that they are available in a compact setup, such that floor space is utilized.
Regardless of the flexible screw conveyor or tube screw conveyor that is applied, equipment
is easy to install in tight spaces or limited spaces, thus qualifying them as excellent
options for spaces that do not have much space room.
- Less Segregation of Materials: Screw conveyors offer continuous and smooth
material flow. Auger rotation in constant circular motion ensures that no segregation of the
material being conveyed is evident, a beneficial aspect if powders or granular material is
to be mixed continuously.
- Versatility in Handling Different Materials: Screw conveyors are also
versatile and can move material ranging from powders and granules up to semi-liquids.
DELSOL's industrial line screw conveyors are designed to handle abrasive materials like
lime, ash, or chemicals without affecting the system's integrity.
Applications of flexible screw conveyor
A one of the best screw conveyors exporters in India, these all types of new screw conveyors are
majorly used in multiple types of applications such as:
- Food Processing: Screw conveyors have traditionally been used in the food
processing industry carrying foods like grain, flour, and sugar. Sanitary conveyor design
will not allow contamination of material in transit and the closed casing avoids loss of
product.
- Agriculture and Farming: Screw conveyors are of immense application in
agriculture to deal with grains, seeds, and fertilizers. They treat the material with care
and hence do not crush it and, in terms of their effectiveness in working in hostile
environments, are of immense assistance to mills and farms.
- Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries: Screw conveyors are also critical
in raw material handling, chemicals, and powders in the chemical and pharmaceutical sector.
Even dangerous or sensitive products are not an issue when utilizing the experience lime
screw conveyors and flexible screw conveyors of DELSOL.
- Cement and Construction: Screw conveyors are also used in cement factories
for conveying of materials for products like ash, cement, and lime. Screw conveyors are made
considering the tough character of the material as well as efficient and safe working of a
conveyor system.
