The modular TX Tubular Screw Conveyor system is highly versatile. TX Screw Conveyors are manufactured in stainless steel with a suitable surface finishing grade appropriate for the application. Manufacture of the fabricated components is carried out on machines that guarantee a perfectly smooth surface due to which material residue is reduced to the minimum. TX Tubular Screw Conveyors are made up from a tubular trough that is equipped with at least one inlet and outlet spout, an end plate at each tube end, helicoid screw flighting welded on a centre pipe with a coupling bush at each end, two end bearing assemblies complete with adjustable shaft sealing unit, and a number of intermediate hanger bearings depending on the overall length of the screw conveyor. Furthermore, TX Tubular Screw Conveyors are equipped with a gear motor that is suitable for the application. Depending on the material to be handled TX Tubular Screw Conveyors come in a light or medium-heavy-duty design.TX Screw Conveyors are available with ATEX, zone 22 certification.
Performance and Technical Features:
• Standard design in 304 L or 316 L stainless steelPolygonal or cylindrical inlet and outlet spouts according to WAM® standard
• End bearing assemblies with externally adjustable shaft seals (stuffing box, air or gas-purged, others)
• Wide range of intermediate hanger bearings appropriate for the application (also self-lubricating)
• End flanges welded orthogonally on the trough on special jigs
• End plates carrying flanged end bearing assemblies and closing off the trough
• Modular length helicoid screw flighting with square or variable pitch welded on centre pipe with shaft coupling each end
• Screw sections connected by splined or bolted shaft couplings
• Screws accurately balanced
• Bearing assemblies entirely designed by WAM® to offer the right product for each application
• WAM® drive units with integrated end bearing assembly and adjustable shaft sealing unit (screws run perfectly balanced due to drive unit directly mounted on screw pipe; substitutes coupling or chain transmission with special drive mount)
