Description
Flexible screw conveyor - Flexible mechanical screw for avoiding obstacles
The flexible screw is used to carry powders, granules or pellets.
By their mode of operation and design, these adaptable screw conveyors come with specific implementation recommendations. The advantages of this type of screw conveyor is the compact size and flexibility of installation.
Because of the high rotational speeds (about 900 rpm), this type of mechanical screw can not convey fragile products and cannot be operated when not loaded. The compatibility of materials conveyed must be validated by PALAMATIC PROCESS.
Flexible screw conveyor range :
| Flexible conveyors models | 37 | 44 | 55 | 67 | 80 | 90 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity in kg/h. | 100 | 400 | 800 | 2,000 | 5,000 | 7,000 |
| Minimum bending radius in meters* | 2 | 2.5 | 3 | 4 | 5.5 | 7. |
| Tube : int. Ø X ext. Ø in mm | 37 x 43 | 44 x 51 | 55 x 63 | 67 x 80 | 80 x 90 | 90 x 100 |
Note: the rates obtained depend on the density and characteristics of the product as well as the length and elevation of the screw.
* The specificities of implementation and screws curvatures must be validated by the engineering PALAMATIC PROCESS design office.

Equipment advantages
- Tube manufactured in semi-rigid polyamid with excellent abrasion resistance, vibration absorption and certified for food products.
- Flexibility of the conveyor which goes around, above, below or laterally of any equipment already in place.
- Protection against environmental moisture: ideal for dehydrated or dried products.
- Easy maintenance to remove residual material from the conveyor by reversing the screw drive.

Flexible screw conveyor palamatic process
In configurations with long conveying screw lengths, a guardrail must be provided at the screw conveyor end to enable the spiral to be released.

Flexible screw conveyor
Due to the high rotational speeds, this type of screw conveyor does not allow the conveying of fragile materials and its empty rotation.
Flexible screw conveyor powder processing
Perfect for the transportation of various food products such as flour, wheat or corn and larger granules for larger diameters.
Big bag filling system with flexible screw conveyor
This system consists of a 2-metre long POLYAMIDE tube and a 304 L stainless steel spiral, welded and passivated.
