Screw conveyors and screw conveyors
Plastic screw conveyors and transport screws
Customized plastic screw conveyors and transport screws
Are you looking for a simple solution to reliably and efficiently transport food, minerals, or other bulk materials in your operation, but want to use sustainable methods and components? With Wefapress by your side, you have an experienced partner specializing in the production of screw conveyors and transport screws made of plastic. We offer you comprehensive solutions, through a single source – from the production of the plastic to consulting on design and development, all the way to the finished, functional plastic screw conveyors and transport screws.
Process: What is an customized screw conveyor production?
When it comes to the customized production of screw conveyors and transport screws, it is possible to manufacture them to measure and according to special demands. This is why we do not supply you with finished parts in large quantities, but with custom-made products – starting from a quantity of 1.
How does this process work at Wefapress?
Step 1:
You make an inquiry with the desired dimensions or a technical sketch for your screw conveyor.
Step 2:
We advise you on the different materials that are suitable for the plastic screw conveyor in question, 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.
Product details for our customized screw conveyors and transport screws
What is the difference between screw conveyors and screw conveyors?
Yes, there is a difference between transport screws and screw conveyors, although the terms are often used interchangeably and both use the same basic principle: a rotating screw (screw shaft) in a housing that moves material in a specific direction.
The term “screw conveyor” is used as a generic term to describe any type of screw conveyor that moves material from one point to another.
Screw conveyors are used in various industries, such as agriculture, food processing, construction and the chemical industry. They can convey bulk materials such as grain, powder, granulates or even liquids. Screw conveyors at Wefapress are manufactured for transporting, compacting or dosing bulk materials.
The term “ transport screw” is often used to describe screw conveyors that are specifically designed to transport coarser materials or solid objects over longer distances.
Transport screws are used in similar industries to screw conveyors, but the focus is more on transporting things like glass bottles or canisters. At Wefapress, we primarily manufacture screw conveyors for turning, separating, grouping or positioning unit loads.
Advantages and qualities of conveyor technology
Unique manufacturing processes
Thanks to our extensive range of machinery, we can manufacture plastic transport and screw conveyors in lengths of up to 4,000 mm from a single piece. You have the choice between various thermoplastics such as PE-UHMW / St 1000®, POM, PA or others, which are available in pure or modified form in partly an extensive range of colors for your conveyor systems.
Advantages of plastic conveyor screws
Plastic screw conveyors and transport screws have many advantages and are an excellent solution for the individual and safe transportation of goods. A transport and screw conveyor made of plastic causes significantly less operating noise than one made of metal and also weighs considerably less due to the material.
The surface of the plastic transport and conveyor screws is of high quality to protect the products while 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 levels
- Lightweight
- Excellent surface quality
- Noise insulation properties
- Identical reproduction
- High notches impact strengh
- Comprehensive range of colors
- Optimal sliding properties
- Low centrifugal force
Advantages and qualities of our transport screws
With plastic transport screws from Wefapress, you have custom-made solutions for the fast, efficient and gentle transport 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 levels
- Lightweight
- Excellent surface quality
- Noise insulation properties
- Identical reproduction
- High notches impact strengh
- Comprehensive range of colors
- Optimal sliding properties
- Low centrifugal force
Customized screw conveyors for every industry
Transport and screw conveyors are used in a wide range of industries as they can efficiently move and transport materials. Here are some of the main applications and industries in which they are used:
- Possible applications: In agriculture, screw conveyors are often used to handle bulk materials such as grain, seed and animal feed.
- Materials transported: Grain (wheat, corn, barley), seed, animal feed, fertilizer.
2. Food industry
- Possible applications: In the food industry, screw conveyors are responsible for the transportation of powdery or granular products as well as liquid and pasty foodstuffs.
- 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 required in the production of building materials or on construction sites.
- Materials transported: Cement, sand, gravel, lime, concrete, asphalt.
