Screw conveyors and screw conveyors
Plastic screw conveyors and transport screws
Customized plastic screw conveyors and screw conveyors
Are you looking for a simple solution to transport food, minerals or other bulk goods reliably and efficiently in your company, but want to use sustainable methods and components? With Wefapress at your side, you have an experienced partner who specializes in the production of plastic transport and conveyor screws.
We offer you solutions from a single source – from the production of the plastic to advice on design and development through to the finished functional plastic screw conveyor and transport screw.
Process: What is an individual screw conveyor production?
When it comes to the individual production of screw conveyors and transport screws, it is possible to manufacture them to measure and according to special requirements. That’s why we don’t supply finished parts in large quantities, but custom-made products – starting from a quantity of 1.
How does this process work at Wefapress?
Step 1:
You submit an inquiry with the required dimensions or a technical sketch for your screw conveyor.
Step 2:
We advise you on the different materials that are suitable for the respective plastic screw conveyor, depending on the area of application and the type of bulk material being transported.
Step 3:
Once the order has been accepted, we produce the screw conveyor for you in the desired quantity using a plastic machining process.
Are you interested in an individual offer or do you have any questions for us?
Product details for our customized screw conveyors and transport screws
What is the difference between screw conveyors and screw conveyors?
The term “screw conveyor” is often used to describe screw conveyors that are specially designed for transporting coarser materials or solid objects over longer distances.
Screw conveyors are used in similar industries to screw conveyors, although the focus is more on the transportation of items such as glass bottles or canisters. At Wefapress, we primarily manufacture screw conveyors for turning, separating, grouping or positioning unit loads.
Advantages and features of conveyor technology
Unique manufacturing processes
Advantages of plastic screws
Plastic screw conveyors and screw conveyors have many advantages and are an excellent solution for the individual and safe transportation of goods. A plastic screw conveyor causes significantly less operating noise than a metal one and also weighs considerably less due to the material. A plastic screw conveyor is also easy to clean and has excellent sliding properties.
The surface of the plastic transport and conveyor screws is of high quality in order to protect the products during conveying. Nevertheless, it is impact and abrasion resistant and has a high notched impact strength, which ensures a longer service life. Lower centrifugal forces and 100% reproducibility round off the list.
- Low friction
- Light weight
- Excellent surface quality
- Noise-insulating
- Identical post-production
- High notched impact strength
- Extensive color selection
- Optimum sliding behavior
- Low centrifugal forces
Advantages and features of our transport cheques
With plastic screw conveyors from Wefapress, you have tailor-made solutions for the fast, efficient and gentle transportation of solid and cohesive materials and objects such as glass bottles, PET bottles or canisters. Like our screw conveyors, the transport screws are milled from a plastic part and are characterized by their durability and lightness. They transport the goods effectively but gently in order to avoid or minimize damage.
- Low friction
- Light weight
- Excellent surface quality
- Noise-insulating
- Identical post-production
- High notched impact strength
- Extensive color selection
- Optimum sliding behavior
- Low centrifugal forces
Customized screw conveyors for every industry
Screw conveyors are used in a wide range of industries as they can efficiently move and transport materials.
Here are some of the most important applications and industries in which they are used:
- Possible applications: In agriculture, screw conveyors are often used for handling bulk goods such as grain, seed and animal feed.
- Materials transported: grain (wheat, maize, barley), seed, animal feed, fertilizer.
- Possible applications: In the food industry, screw conveyors are responsible for transporting powdery or granular products as well as liquid and pasty foods.
- Materials transported: Flour, sugar, salt, spices, dough, chocolate, ingredients for food production.
- Possible applications: Screw conveyors are used here to move heavy and abrasive materials that are required in the production of building materials or on construction sites.
- Materials transported: cement, sand, gravel, lime, concrete, asphalt.
- Applications: In these industries, screw conveyors are important for the transportation of chemical powders, granulates and liquids in controlled environments.
- Materials transported: Chemical powders, plastics, granulates, medicines, cosmetic raw materials.
- Possible applications: Screw conveyors and transport screws are used in recycling plants to transport and process various types of waste materials.
- Materials transported: plastic waste, metal shavings, wood waste, biomass, paper waste.
- Possible applications: In waste water treatment and environmental technology, screw conveyors are used for the transportation and dewatering of sludge and for handling solids.
- Transported materials: sewage sludge, grit trap material, biomass, filter cake.
- Possible applications: In the mining industry, screw conveyors and transport screws are used to transport raw materials, ore and overburden.
- Materials transported: coal, ore, rock, sand, gravel.
- Possible applications: Screw conveyors are used in paper production to transport pulp, paper fibers and waste.
- Materials transported: pulp, paper fibers, wood chips, sludge.
- Possible applications: In the production of animal feed, screw conveyors are used to transport and mix ingredients.
- Materials transported: Cereals, protein meal, vitamins, minerals.
- Possible applications: In the energy industry, especially in biomass power plants, screw conveyors are used to handle fuels such as wood pellets.
- Materials transported: wood pellets, coal, biomass, ash.
