Composite screw conveyors
Due to the increasing number of new types of sticky and abrasive materials and where it is not possible to use an axisless spiral due to the necessary filling with transported material, we use with very good results robust plastic screw conveyors RATAJ® (types RP, RPN) consisting of plastic screw, internal axis - hexagon and pipe. Since 2013 we have a completely new design of plastic segments robust construction. These segments are easily slid onto the hexagonal axis and, using locks, create a very robust, non-bearing worm conveyor construction.
These conveyors can also be used for demanding applications for conveying abrasive materials. Their main advantage is especially lightweight construction, quiet operation even in cases where there is no conveyed material in the conveyor. Composite augers are several times lighter than a steel spiral and, in combination with the corresponding piping, these conveyors can be used for applications that require continuous conveyor operation without the conveyed material. It is mainly used in the food industry (sticky and wet materials), in the chemical industry (aggressive substances) and last but not least in heavy industry, energy and construction.
Advantages:
- transport of sticky materials
- no-load option
- lightweight construction
