Food Stainless Steel Screw Conveyor

Stainless steel screw conveyor is a special conveying equipment for the food industry. Below we focus on the application of some stainless steel screw conveyors in food and beverage related processes.

1. Food powder processing

Many food powders have different consistencies depending on the food powder. Some are dry, some are wet, and some are greasy. Stainless steel screw conveyors are capable of handling a wide variety of different types of products without requiring extensive system maintenance. Plus, screw conveyors consistently move product, helping food processors keep up with production demand.

2. Food raw materials

For those processing ingredients such as sugar, flour, spices and grains, sanitation and efficiency are an absolute must, but many also need the flexibility to handle loading large quantities of material into conveyor systems. Therefore, many people often use the multifunctional design of the stainless steel screw conveyor when handling bulk materials, such as adding moving wheels at the bottom.

3. Brewing

In the process of turning barley and wheat into a satisfying pint of beer, breweries need to move large quantities of hops from storage plants into large brewing tanks, where they are filled with water and the fermentation process begins. The auger does an excellent job of efficiently metering hops and grains during the brewing process, the included auger is able to move the material without degrading the product, thus preserving the rich flavor and aroma present in the product.

4. Dairy products

Dairies often turn excess milk into powdered milk -- which has a longer shelf life than liquid milk. To achieve this goal, milk powder processors need a hygienic system that can efficiently transport their products. Stainless steel screw conveyors can be used to move powders and degrade products throughout a facility, but their length and space-demanding nature make them unsuitable for processors with smaller facilities.

For smaller facilities, inclined screw conveyors are an excellent choice, allowing plants to make the most of space without giving up any basic hygiene requirements. In addition, there are food hygiene standards to ensure that raw materials are not polluted during transportation.
