    Screw conveyors are used to transport raw materials like raw meal, cement, and coal underneath filters, cyclones, hoppers, and silos. They come in inclined, horizontal, and vertical designs and work by advancing material forward one pitch length with each revolution of the screw. Key design considerations for screw conveyors include the material characteristics, inlet size, quantity and distance of material conveyed, trough loading, and torque requirements to reduce failures from drive or screw issues, material blockages, wear, or sensor problems.
