Plug Screw Conveyors

Plug Screw Conveyors

Plug screw conveyors are heavy duty conveyors used to isolate upstream equipment from challenging downstream conditions such as chemical vapors, high temperatures and pressure differentials. These unique problem-solving screw conveyors are specially designed so that the handled material forms a nominally plugged condition that creates an effective internal seal to block the transfer of pressure or gasses. As experts in the plug screw market, Anderson-Crane customizes these conveyors to our customers’ specifications and needs.

Anderson-Crane’s plug screw conveyors are built tough featuring:

  • Capacities up to 58,000 cubic feet per hour 
  • Heavy duty slow speed roller chain final drive or direct drive options
  • Outboard roller bearings
  • Flanged gland seals on drive and end shafts
  • Optional convenient inspection and view ports to access the plug area
  • Optional Trough-Tite™ curved and hinged clean-out gate for maintenance
  • Mild steel or stainless steel construction
