Used Screw Conveyors

What Are the Types of Screw Conveyors Offered at JM Industrial?

At JM Industrial, we provide surplus and used screw conveyors in various specifications. They can be categorized into the following types based on their design:

• Horizontal Screw Conveyors: These screw conveyors possess a user-friendly design. Our horizontal screw conveyors are used for free-flowing or non-flowing materials at 15% -45% trough loading. High trough loading of 45% is used for non-abrasive, light, and free-flowing bulk materials. However, 15-30% trough loading is suited for sluggish, abrasive, and denser materials.
  
  
• Inclined Screw Conveyors: Used screw conveyors of this type are usually operated at 45 degrees above horizontal screw conveyors. These screw conveyors can be availed in different inclination angles with us. The conveying efficiency depends on the degree of inclination.
  
  
• Vertical Screw Conveyors: The screw conveyors of this type can elevate bulk materials above 45 degrees. They are used for transporting semi-fluid and dry materials. The compact footprint of these conveyors makes them an ideal choice for any plant layout. Unlike other used screw conveyors here, these screw conveyors have fewer moving parts, which makes them an ideal choice for bulk material conveyance.
  
  
• Flexible Screw Conveyors: We provide used flexible screw conveyors that elevate or move bulk materials by rotating auger or screws inside the casing. They are suited for conveying bulk materials to sub-micron powders.

Why Buy Used Screw Conveyors?

There is always a debate on why buy used screw conveyors over new ones. There are several benefits of buying used screw conveyors. The following pointers will help you understand it better.

• Good Choice as Second Investment: Screw conveyors like any other industrial equipment are expensive. Most businesses that depend on them always stock spare parts or sometimes additional equipment to avoid downtimes and associated risks. So, if you are looking for screw conveyors as a second investment then buying a good quality used screw conveyor is always a good deal.
  
  
• Save Money: Industrial equipment demands lots of investment. There are several areas where you can save and buying used industrial equipment can be the best choice. At JM Industrial, we provide used and surplus screw conveyors at attractive prices. You can also find their spare parts or accessories with us. Most of these equipment are available at one-fourth rate than their original counterparts. This helps us assure the best value for investment.
  
  
• Green Investment: Buying surplus or used screw conveyors can be rightly termed as a green investment because they help you save on your carbon emissions. When buying new equipment, you are adding to the energy expenditure that goes in building it. Also, at the end of their lifetime, you may either sell it or discard it, which may end up in the landfill. By buying the used equipment you can easily save on the energy expenditure.
  
  

Maintenance Tips for Screw Conveyors

Maintenance is crucial, for keeping your screw conveyor running smoothly and prolonging its lifespan;

• Regularly apply lubrication to the moving components, including bearings, gears and the screw itself. Proper lubrication helps reduce friction and wear, ensuring operation.
  
  
• Conduct checks to detect any signs of wear or damage. Inspect the parts of a screw conveyor, for problems like misalignment or corrosion. Address them promptly.
  
  
• Maintain cleanliness in the conveyor system to prevent material buildup and contamination. Regular cleaning is particularly crucial in industries with hygiene standards.
  
  
• Check the belt, screw for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any worn out or damaged parts to uphold operation.
  
  
• Ensure that belts or screws are correctly aligned and tensioned. Misalignment can result in performance and increased wear.
  
  

Replace any worn out or damaged components as required. Keeping parts on hand can help minimize downtime and ensure functioning of the conveyor system.
