Screw conveyors
for bulk materials handling and
processing
Since 1949, Jacmor Engineering,
has specialised in the design and
manufacture of screw conveyor systems
and their application to processing
and handling of bulk materials.
Our skills and expertise are recognised
in a wide range of industries with
Jacmor designed and manufactured
equipment operating throughout Australia
and overseas markets.
Jacmor screw conveyor systems are
working right now in aluminium refineries,
chemical plants, power generating
stations, coal wash facilities,
bakeries, flour mills, sewerage
works, timber and pulp mills, refractories,
food processors and many other industries.
They are the most efficient cost
effective method of bulk materials
handling in many of today's processing
and manufacturing industries.
Their long life, simplicity of
maintenance, high efficiency even
under partial load and reliability
when handling heavy and demanding
materials give them outstanding
advantages compared with alternative
systems.
Screw conveyors
Screw conveyors and screw flights form an integral
part of many production processes.
Mixing, blending, heating, cooling,
liquid extraction, dewatering, drying
or similar operations can be performed
whilst bulk solids or liquids are
being conveyed from one point to
another.
Screw conveying is not limited
to transporting materials on a horizontal
plane. Standard designs with auxiliary
equipment are available for operating
on inclines or for the vertical
elevation of materials.
The use of solid state digital
control systems, PLCs (program logic
controllers) and loss of weight
feeders add a high degree of sophistication
and control.
Highly developed seals confine
the products conveyed within the
trough along with dust, fumes or
gases. Materials can similarly be
protected from contamination and
the elements.
Comparatively compact, screw conveyors
do not require a return run, are
virtually vibration free and relatively
quiet in operation. Multiple inlet
and discharge points are easily
incorporated.
Screw conveyors are capable of
continuous operation, usually require
minimal maintenance and are considered
to be relatively inexpensive equipment
resulting in cost effective processing
operations.
Screw Feeders
When screw conveyors are used to
discharge material from the base
of bins or hoppers, they are designed
as screw feeders and can accurately
meter the materials being discharged.
Live Bottom Bins
When multiple screw feeders are
used to empty the contents of a
bin, they are called "live
bottom bins" and are ideally
suited for discharging materials
that have a tendency to pack or
bridge.
Mixing and Blending
Jacmor manufacture a wide range
of mixers and blenders suitable
for use in many industries including
the food industry. A complex ribbon
design promotes thorough homogenous
mixing of a multitude of products
in large batches. |
