PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: WHY GOING SHAFTLESS MAKES SENSE
Why are shaftless screw conveyors so effective?
Shaftless screw or spiral conveyors play a key role in preventing material spillage and odour control.
SAVECO’s SSC range can handle a range of materials including: urban solid waste, screenings, floating matter, dewatered, thickened, conditioned sludge, packaged food, creams or pastes as well as waste from meat, fish, fruit and vegetable processing.
How does this work in practice?
Material is conveyed by an extra heavy-duty shaftless screw that slides on a wear-resistant, low-friction liner inside the conveyor trough housing.
The longitudinally divided U-section troughs are manufactured from carbon or 304 L / 316 L stainless steel, including appropriate surface treatment.
The cross-section of the lower part of the trough is slightly wider than the side channels to allow for the liner to be inserted in the lower trough part.
After complete assembly of the trough, the liner is kept in place by the upper trough side channels. At one trough end, there is a vertical or flush-type outlet. At the drive end the screw conveyor is equipped with an end plate holding the end bearing assembly with flanged shaft coupling to the spiral. The installed drive unit suits the application.
The SSC can be loaded from above either into the open trough, through an inlet spout included in a bolted trough cover, or from the side through a special side inlet in the loading zone of the trough.
Advantages
✅ Shaftless screws offer a larger volume capacity and capability to handle difficult materials which can become tangled up or present a highly variable particle size.
✅ Highly resistant and extremely durable thanks to the SSC’s material properties, oversize thickness, and its special manufacturing process.
✅ Obstacle-free material handling without intermediate bearings.
✅ The completely enclosed trough prevents any material leakage.
✅ Odour-free operation thanks to trough covers (and appropriate gaskets) forming a protective barrier against any atmospheric agents entering the system.
✅ Easy access for maintenance and internal inspection or cleaning.
