Uncompromising finishing quality

TX Stainless Steel Tubular Screw Conveyors offer a variety of solutions for conveying or feeding powdery or granular materials. They are suitable for applications in which any contamination of the material handled has to be strictly avoided and where absolute cleanliness and perfect resistance to corrosion are required.

In particular, TX Tubular Screw Conveyors are used in environmental technology, in flour and animal feed milling, in food processing and packaging, in plastics and chemicals, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry.

Function :

• The TX Tubular Screw Conveyor system offers a variety of solutions for conveying or feeding powdery or granular materials. TX Tubular Screw Conveyors are suitable for applications in which any contamination of the material handled has to be strictly avoided and where absolute cleanliness and perfect resistance to corrosion are required.
• In particular, TX Tubular Screw Conveyors are used in environmental technology, in flour and animal feed milling, in food processing and packaging, in plastics and chemicals, as well as in the pharmaceutical industry.

Features :

• Standard 304L or 316L stainless steel design
• WAM standard polygonal or cylindrical inlet and outlet spouts
• End bearing assemblies with externally adjustable shaft seal (stuffing box, air or gas-purged, others)
• Wide range of intermediate hanger bearings appropriate for the application (self-lubricating on request)
• End flanges welded orthogonally on the trough on special jigs
• End plates carrying flanged end bearing assemblies and closing-off-trough plates
• Modular length helicoid screw flighting with square or variable pitch welded on centre pipe with shaft coupling at each end
• Screw sections connected by splined or bolted shaft couplings
• Screws accurately balanced
• Bearing assemblies entirely designed by WAM providing the most suitable model for each application
• WAM drive units with integrated end bearing assembly and adjustable shaft seal (screws run perfectly balanced due to drive unit directly mounted on screw pipe; substitutes coupling or chain transmission with special drive mount)

Benefits :

• Perfectly smooth tubular troughs for minimum material residue
• WAM drive units with integrated end bearing assembly and adjustable shaft seal (screws run perfectly balanced due to drive unit directly mounted on screw pipe; substitutes coupling or chain transmission with special drive mount)

The modular TX Tubular Screw Conveyor system is highly versatile. TX Screw Conveyors are manufactured from stainless steel with surface finishing grade suitable for the application. Manufacture of fabricated components is carried out on machines that guarantee a perfectly smooth surface which is why material residue is reduced to the minimum. TX Tubular Screw Conveyors are made up of a tubular trough equipped with at least one inlet and outlet spout, an end plate at each tube end, helicoid screw flighting welded on a centre pipe with coupling bush at each end, two end bearing assemblies complete with adjustable shaft seal, and a number of intermediate hanger bearings depending on the overall length of the screw conveyor. Furthermore, TX Tubular Screw Conveyors are equipped with a gear motor appropriate for the application. Depending on the material to be handled, TX Tubular Screw Conveyors come in a light or medium heavy-duty design. TX Screw Conveyors are available with ATEX, Zone 22 certification.
