Mechanical conveying
The simplest and most reliable solution for handling bulk materials.
When space, wear, or the delicacy of the material make the use of pneumatic systems complex, conveyor screws are the most practical and efficient choice.
Thanks to their robust and customizable design, they allow for the continuous, safe, and controlled handling of a wide range of bulk materials: granules, powders, flakes, and light fibers.
CT Systems screw conveyors are designed to:
- ensure uniform transport and adjustable flow rate,
- minimize maintenance, thanks to high-strength materials (HARDOX 450 , AISI 304-316L stainless steel),
- integrate easily with silos, dosing systems, and weighing systems, creating a smooth and reliable production chain.
With lengths of up to 12 meters and flow rates from 0.5 to 50 m³/h, our conveyor screws offer a versatile, durable mechanical transport solution that can be adapted to any plant requirement.
When should you choose mechanical transport with screw conveyors?
Mechanical transport is the ideal solution when:
- abrasive materials are being handled that could quickly wear out pneumatic lines;
- fragile materials are being handled that risk degradation when subjected to air turbulence;
- a low-energy consumption system is required, suitable for relatively short distances;
- a robust, easy-to-manage solution with low maintenance is needed;
- direct integration with silos, dosing units, or weighing systems is required.
In all other cases—long distances, large flow rates, or the need to distribute material to multiple points—pneumatic transport remains the most suitable solution.
For this reason, at CT Systems, we work with the customer to analyze the material, layout, and production requirements in order to propose the most efficient and cost-effective technology for each context.
