A screw conveyor is a mechanical conveying system designed to continuously transport bulk materials using a rotating helical screw shaft. For biomass applications such as wood chips, wood shavings, sawdust, and bark, screw conveyors offer a reliable and enclosed method to feed material between processing stages.
This wood-handling screw conveyor features:
Enclosed trough design to prevent material leakage and dust emissions
Heavy-duty screw blades optimized for irregular wood chip geometry
Wear-resistant components suitable for abrasive biomass
Stable conveying capacity even with variable moisture and chip size
Compact and flexible layout for feeding, dosing, and distributing material
Direct-drive gearbox + motor for efficient and low-maintenance operation
Typical use cases include transporting biomass fuel from storage to:
Screening systems
Dryers
Gasifiers
Boilers
Chippers and shredders
Pellet production lines
For biomass and wood handling industries, screw conveyors offer a cost-efficient alternative to belt conveyors, especially where enclosure, metering, or steep conveying angles are required.
