BioSec - Vertical Screw Conveyors

The listed capacities are an indication of performance of various vertical conveyors. The capacity depends on several factors, the main one being the product to be lifted. As a rule, vertical conveyors are not fitted with intermediate bearings. In circumstances where the material are to be transported over long vertical distances, it is recommended that staged vertical conveyors are employed. Vertical conveyors can be used on many different materials, including wet, sticky dewatered biosolids. The compact design of the vertical screw conveyor has no return parts, like a belt conveyor.  Therefore, one significant advantage is the limited  size of the footprint.  They can be installed into very tight spaces; typically with the drive able to be mounted at the top or the bottom of the conveyor.
