CA Trough Screw Conveyor

The modular CA Trough Screw Conveyor system is highly versatile offering numerous solutions for conveying powdery or granular materials. They are widely used all over the world in industries such as pet food, plastics processing, soap, washing powder and detergent processing, animal feed milling, wood processing, chemicals, environmental technology, cement, lime and gypsum processing, as well as mining.

The modular CA Trough Screw Conveyor system is highly versatile offering numerous solutions for conveying powdery or granular materials. CA Screw Conveyors are manufactured from carbon steel with suitable surface finishing. They are made up of a U or V-shaped trough equipped with at least one outlet spout, an end plate at each trough end, helicoid screw flighting welded on a center pipe with coupling bush at each end, two end bearing assemblies complete with shaft seal, a certain number of intermediate hanger bearings depending on the overall length of the screw conveyor, and bolted trough cover sections. Furthermore, CA Trough Screw Conveyors are equipped with a gear motor appropriate for the application.

Depending on the material to be handled, CA Trough Screw Conveyors come in a light, medium-heavy, or extra heavy-duty design.

All types are available with ATEX, Zone 22 certification.4

The light-duty version, CA_L, is mainly used to convey powders or granular materials in the production of pet food, in the plastics industry, as well as in soap, washing powder and detergent processing. The medium heavy-duty version, CA_P, is mainly used in animal feed milling, in wood processing, in the chemical industry, and in environmental technology for both municipal and industrial applications. The extra heavy-duty version, CA_E, is mainly used in cement / lime /gypsum processing, as well as in the mining industry.

According to the application, various types of screws, inlet and outlet spouts are available.
