Conveyor system, also known as a conveyor belt system or simply conveyors, is a mechanical handling equipment that consists of a continuous moving surface or belt that transports goods, materials, or products from one location to another within a facility or between different stages of a production process. Conveyor systems are widely used in industries such as manufacturing, distribution, logistics, and mining for efficient material handling and transportation Here are some common types of conveyor series:Belt Conveyors;Screw Conveyors and bucket elevator.
Screw Conveyor
Screw conveyors are a type of conveyor system that use a rotating screw or auger to move materials along a trough or tube. They are commonly used for transporting bulk materials, such as powders, granules, or grains, in various industries including agriculture, food processing, mining, and chemical processing. Here are some key features and characteristics of screw conveyors:
- Design: Screw conveyors consist of a helical screw blade, also known as an auger, that rotates within a cylindrical tube or trough. The screw is typically driven by a motor, which rotates the screw and moves the material along the conveyor.
- Versatility: Screw conveyors can handle a wide range of materials, including dry or semi-fluid substances. They can transport materials horizontally, inclined, or vertically depending on the specific design and requirements.
- Efficient Material Handling: Screw conveyors are known for their efficient and reliable performance in transporting materials. The rotating screw creates a continuous flow, pushing the materials along the trough with minimal spillage or product degradation.
- Flexible Configurations: Screw conveyors can be designed in various configurations to suit specific applications. They can be horizontal, inclined, or vertical, depending on the material flow requirements. Additionally, different screw designs, such as variable pitch, ribbon flight, or paddle screws, can be used to optimize the conveying process.
- Customization Options: Screw conveyors can be customized to meet specific operational needs. They can be designed with different lengths, diameters, and capacities, depending on the desired material throughput and the available space in the facility. Additionally, features like covers, access doors, and safety devices can be added to enhance the functionality and safety of the conveyor.
- Low Maintenance: Screw conveyors are relatively simple in design and have few moving parts, resulting in low maintenance requirements. Regular inspections, lubrication, and occasional replacement of wear components are typically sufficient to keep the conveyor operating smoothly.
- Cost-effective Solution: Screw conveyors are often considered a cost-effective solution for bulk material handling due to their efficient operation, low maintenance requirements, and relatively low initial investment compared to other conveyor systems.
Screw conveyors are widely used in various industries to transport bulk materials efficiently and reliably. They offer versatility, customization options, and cost-effectiveness, making them a popular choice for many material handling applications.
The screw conveyor is a product research and development by our company, which combines a variety of domestic and foreign screw conveyor production experiences. It is able to transport various materials and it’s compatible with various mixing machines. The screw conveyor is not only suitable for the transportation of raw materials in fertilizer industry, but also suitable for construction machinery industry to transport cement, lime, fly ash and other materials in the concrete mixing station. The screw conveyor is also used to carry loose powder or granule materials such as coal powder, sintering powder, urea, compound fertilizer, dry sand, flour, grains etc. in metallurgy, chemical industry, machinery, light industry, building materials, food, food storage and other industries. The screw conveyor mainly includes spiral, machine trough, hanging rack, feed port, discharge port, transmission device and so on.
Application and description:
The machine trough adopts a steel pipe as conveying cylinder, which has the advantages of large rigidity, good tightness, no leakage, and improved working environment.
The driving device adopts the motor direct connection type of the cycloidal pin gear reducer, which has the advantages of large power, little noise, compact structure and reliable transmission. The whole machine can be installed horizontally or obliquely, with small footprint, easy to install and use.

Belt Conveyor
Belt conveyor is a high efficiency, good mobility of a continuous conveying and loading equipment. It is mainly used for the place where the loading and unloading sites are frequently changed, such as ports, docks, stations, yards, warehouses, construction sites, sand quarry, farms, etc. Usually used for short distance transport, loading and unloading of bulk materials or pieces which weight under 100kg.
Belt Conveyor Features:
- 1. High precision and high bearing capacity.
- 2. Long service life (up to 10 years); compact structure, small footprint (reduced by 50%).
- 3. It is portable. And it adopts vertical transmission structure, which is more suitable for transportation and usage of organic fertilizer raw materials.

Bucket Elevator
This series of bucket elevator has the characteristics of small footprint, high lifting height, large conveying capacity, low power consumption and good tightness. It is a vertical conveying equipment suitable for carrying granular and powdery materials such as grains, food, fodder, mining industry, etc.
Bucket Elevator Application & Features:
- Small driving power. The bucket elevator adopts inflow feeding, induction discharge and large capacity hopper intensive layout. In the process of material lifting, there is almost no return and excavation phenomenon, so that reduce ineffective power.
- Wide range of hoisting. The bucket elevator has low requirement on materials’ types and characteristic. It can not only lift the general powder and small granular materials, but also can lift the material with high grinding quality. Good sealing, less environmental pollution.
- Good operation reliability. Advanced design principle and processing method ensure the reliability of the whole machine, and the trouble free time is more than 20 thousand hours. The elevator runs smoothly and can reach a relative higher lifting height.
- Long service life. The feeding way of the bucket elevator adopts the inflow type, no need to be dug by the bucket, so that the extrusion and the collision are rarely occurred among the materials. This machine has been designed to ensure that the materials less scattered in the feeding and unloading process, thus reduces the mechanical wear and tear.
