Conveyor screws from EAP Lachnit are the best choice for transporting bulk goods or powdered substances in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical production. They meet the highest hygiene standards in stainless steel design and are easy to clean. They are also suitable for dosing bulk materials such as semolina or rice, which are processed into mixed products like semolina porridge or rice pudding. EAP Lachnit also offers conveyor screws that can be individually configured as robust and durable conveying systems.

Conveyor screws are transport systems suitable for the safe conveying of bulk materials of various types. They operate on the principle of a rotating screw (Archimedean screw) made from robust and durable stainless steel. The bulk material rests on the screw and is transported in the desired direction through continuous rotation. The conveyor screw can be oriented horizontally, vertically, or at an angle. The rotating helix is usually housed within a pipe, a U-shaped or Omega-shaped trough, which serves as a boundary for the transported material. The conveyed material ranges from dust-like or granular forms to moist or muddy consistencies. The conveyor screws from EAP Lachnit, classified as continuous conveyors, are very durable and space-saving in operation due to their compact and robust construction. They are primarily used in food, chemical, and pharmaceutical production. One of their main advantages is their low susceptibility to malfunctions and the consequently low maintenance effort.

Flexible Use

Thanks to their modular design, screw conveyors can be used over long distances. Typically, two bearing units – at the beginning and end of the screw – complete the system. Depending on the required length, multiple intermediate bearings can also be installed. This makes such conveying lengths very flexible, depending on spatial conditions.

Another advantage of EAP Lachnit's conveyor screws is their use as dosers: with a specific rotation, they enable precise dosing of the conveyed material. In food production, conveyor screws are used, for example, for dosing bulk goods such as semolina or rice, as well as meat products. Here, the exact amount is dosed for processing into semolina porridge or rice pudding. A level sensor indicates when the filling hopper is empty.

The conveying volume and height can be customized by the special machine builder EAP Lachnit according to requirements. They use stainless steel for the construction of the devices. This has the advantage that the surfaces are absolutely smooth, minimizing deposits. The systems can therefore be cleaned quickly and thoroughly. The control cabinet for the electrical system is also made entirely of stainless steel.
