Paper mill screw conveyor manufacturer of bulk material handling for pulp and paper
BOOTEC‑paper mill screw conveyor manufacturer of bulk material handling for pulp and paper
Screw conveyors, also referred to as spiral, worm or auger conveyors, consist of helical screw flights rotating around a central shaft. Material advances along the helical profile following screw rotation. Beyond bulk transportation, this equipment supports chemical agitation, material blending and solution conditioning. It reliably handles wet, caking and fibrous bulk solids within a complete bulk material handling system for pulp‑and‑paper operations.
Key Features
- Simple installation and user‑friendly operation
- Low‑maintenance design for reduced downtime
- Multi‑direction conveying: horizontal, inclined or vertical arrangements
- Flexible performance for both material transport and in‑line blending
Pulp & Paper Conveying Equipment
Paper goods are manufactured from wood pulp, cellulose fibres or recycled paper and newsprint. The papermaking process processes large volumes of wood chips plus a wide range of process chemicals. BOOTEC supplies robust equipment to convey, meter, elevate and store these bulk materials, delivering proven solutions for the pulp and paper industry.
Our stainless‑steel pulp‑mill screw conveyor and U‑type screw conveyor are widely deployed across food, chemical, building‑material, metallurgy, mining and power sectors. They excel at conveying powders, fine granules and small‑size lump materials, and are well‑adapted for screw conveyor for pulp and paper industry applications.
BOOTEC supplies an extensive range of screw conveyors to efficiently transfer wood chips and bark across wood‑handling sections, pulp mills, panel‑board production lines and power plants. Our screw conveyors support highly versatile layouts including horizontal, vertical and inclined configurations, alongside special custom variants for receiving hoppers and dedicated discharge systems.
We also provide specialised plug‑type screw feeders for feeding and compressing ligno‑cellulosic feedstock such as wood chips, wood shavings, bagasse and sawdust and other compressible raw materials for pulping equipment. The unit features a housing with a conically‑tapered bore extending from material inlet to discharge outlet. Helical screw flights rotate inside this tapered bore, advancing incoming feedstock toward the discharge while progressively compressing material to form a dense plug. Reciprocating stopper elements engage the screw spiral groove during rotation to stop material spin‑along rotation, ensuring steady forward transport under continuous compression.
Custom‑Designed Screw Conveyors Built for Long‑Term Service
Every BOOTEC paper mill screw conveyor undergoes comprehensive pre‑shipment inspection. Verification includes dimensional checks, noise measurement, no‑load running tests, pressure testing and full operational running trials. Strict factory testing guarantees defect‑free, high‑quality equipment delivered for your pulp‑and‑paper bulk‑handling project.
