Cement Screw Conveyor

Cement Screw Conveyor

Industrial cement screw conveyor for silos, batching plants and loading lines. Tubular or U-trough construction with powder-tight seals moves fine powders—cement, fly ash, lime and fillers—cleanly and consistently. Retrofit-friendly flanges, inspection/clean-out access, and gearmotor drive make installation and service straightforward.

What it does

Transfers dry powders from silo outlets to weigh hoppers, mixers, bagging machines or loading points. Provides a steady, metered feed and keeps the conveying path dust-tight to maintain housekeeping and weighing accuracy.

Key benefits

  • Dust-tight conveying for fine powders → cleaner plant

  • Consistent feed → more accurate batching and stable mixer loads

  • Tubular or U-trough versions; modular sections for easy length/incline layout

  • Inspection/clean-out access, quick liner/flight service

  • Wear-resistant flighting & liners options for abrasive powders

  • Retrofit-friendly inlet/outlet flanges; matches common silo discharges

  • Drive options: direct-coupled or shaft-mounted gearmotor; VFD-ready

  • Works with aeration pads/nozzles and butterfly/slide-gate valves at silo outlets

Rotary Valve

Rotary Valve

Industrial rotary valve (rotary airlock/feeder) for silo discharge, dust collectors and cyclones. Maintains an airlock between pressure zones while providing a steady, metered feed of powders (cement, fly ash, lime, fillers) to screw conveyors or low-pressure pneumatic conveying lines. Built with robust body, stainless rotor, outboard bearings and quick-service options; available in drop-through or blow-through patterns.

What it does

Separates two pressure zones (e.g., silo/filter → conveyor/air line) and meters product from the upper vessel to the line below. The tight-clearance rotor limits air leakage/backflow, stabilizing conveying and batching.

Key benefits

  • Airlock + feeder in one → steadier conveying, cleaner plant

  • Drop-through / blow-through versions → match your layout and air system

  • Outboard bearings & shaft seals → longer life in dusty service

  • Replaceable or flexible tips (PU/NBR/stainless) → wear resistance & gentle handling

  • Quick-clean options (slide rails/hinged door) → faster maintenance

  • VFD-ready drive → adjustable feed rate

  • ATEX-ready builds on request (per site classification)

Technical specifications

Type: Drop-through (standard) or blow-through (direct to air line)
Rotor: Closed or open; 6–10 vanes; fixed/replaceable tips (PU/NBR/stainless)
Body & covers: Painted carbon steel or stainless options*
Bearings & seals: Outboard bearings; powder-tight shaft seals (purge options)*
Drive: Helical/bevel gearmotor; direct or chain drive; VFD-compatible*
Interfaces: Square/round flanges; adapters for common silo/filter outlets*
Temperature / pressure: For powder service & low-pressure airlock—set per your internal standard*
Options: Food-grade finishes; hardfaced rotors; torque limiter; position/proximity switch
* Confirm exact build and ratings with your internal standards.

Applications

Under silo outlets to screws/pneumatic lines • below bag filters/cyclones • dosing to weigh hoppers/mixers • discharging air slides and bins.

FAQ

Q: Is it an airlock or a feeder?
A: Both—its rotor maintains an air seal while metering product.
Q: Drop-through vs blow-through?
A: Drop-through feeds into a chute/screw; blow-through connects straight into a pneumatic line for compact layouts.
Q: Suitable for abrasive powders like cement/fly ash?
A: Yes—specify replaceable tips, hardfacing or stainless where needed.
Q: How do I size it?
A: Share material, required capacity, duty, pressure/temperature and flange pattern; we select per your site rules.
Q: ATEX version?
A: Available on request with compliant materials, earthing and labeling.
