Screw conveyors are standardized through CEMA based on the screw outside diameter and the shaft outside diameter making these the 2 most important facts to know about a screw conveyor when sizing, designing or buying replacement parts.
The screw conveyor drive, also called the reducer, refers to the motor/gear reducer assembly used to drive the screw conveyor.
One of the areas we pride ourselves on is designing screw conveyors that both perform well and are economical. How do we do that? We use all stock parts, or modified stock parts. Doing this ensures the cost is kept down, leadtimes are shorter and long term maintenance is easier due to the availability of replacement parts.
