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.
