A screw conveyor, also known as an auger conveyor, is a mechanism that utilizes a rotating helical screw to transport bulk materials over a distance. The conveyor consists of a U-shaped trough with a helical screw that rotates within it, pushing the material forward in a continuous motion. This type of conveyor is commonly used for moving granular, powdered or granulated materials, and can be designed for various applications in industries such as agriculture, mining, and manufacturing.
