Screw Conveyor Systems for Reliable Material Handling
When every minute of uptime counts, Orthman screw conveyor systems keep powders, pellets, and flakes on the move. These auger conveyors power through long shifts, while precision-matched screw feeders meter product with gram-level accuracy.
Why choose Orthman?
-
Standardized parts = lower cost. Modular shafts, flights, and bearings snap together, so you stock less and run more.
-
Versatile layouts. Horizontal, inclined, or vertical screw conveyor transfers—plus single or multiple discharge points—fit almost any plant geometry.
-
Tough materials. Need wash-down? Select a stainless steel screw conveyor build; for abrasive duty, choose hardened carbon steel.
-
Rapid support. V-belts, guards, motors, even a replacement screw feeder—all ship fast from our U.S. network.
Therefore, maintenance teams spend less time waiting and more time producing—another reason many processors standardize on Orthman screw conveyor systems across every line.
Built to boost throughput
Because every component is precision-matched, torque loss stays low and energy stays in the product. Meanwhile, flight designs cut carry-back, so you elevate, mix, or cool material in one pass. Moreover, enclosed casings keep dust in and contaminants out, helping you meet OSHA and FDA guidelines without extra guarding. And if you simply need a plug-and-play auger conveyor to slot under an existing hopper, we can ship a pre-engineered unit in days. In short, screw conveyor systems from Orthman add capacity without adding headaches.
Flexible configurations
-
Distribute & blend. Meter ingredients evenly across mixers or dryers—ideal when multiple screw conveyor systems feed one line.
-
Elevate & cool. Add jackets to chill hot clinker on the way up.
-
Batch & feed. Pair a variable-speed drive with our catalogued screw feeders for tight recipe control.
-
Aerate. Ribbon flights fold light materials gently.
Because Orthman screw conveyor systems handle everything from alfalfa meal to zinc oxide, you can rely on one trusted partner instead of juggling several vendors.
