Screw Conveyors
Screw conveyors are a common and very useful tool in the bulk material handling industry. Invented by Archimedes, more than 2,200 years ago, the screw conveyor has enjoyed a long history of industrial service. Screw conveyors operate at their peak performance when oriented in a horizontal position. They can be used on an incline to elevate material but their efficiency begins to decline the further away from 0° elevation the screw conveyor is inclined.An OLDS ELEVATOR™ operates at optimum efficiency while oriented at 90° elevation, or in a vertical position. In this position the OLDS ELEVATOR™ operates in flooded mode, serving as an accurate volumetric feeder, while conserving precious floor space. In addition, the OLDS ELEVATOR™ is noted for its gentle handling of materials and dust-free operation.
