Why Use Screw Conveyors

Screw conveyors are essential material handling equipment in edible oil plants — transporting oilseeds, cake and bulk solids between cleaning, roasting, pressing and downstream processing with enclosed, continuous flow.

Reduce Manual Handling

Automated auger conveying replaces bucket and manual transfer, improving throughput and operator safety.

Improve Production Flow

Continuous material transfer reduces bottlenecks between seed preparation, pressing and cake discharge sections.

Lower Labor Costs

Fewer operators required for material movement across the plant, supporting automation upgrades and capacity expansion.

Improve Plant Cleanliness

Enclosed tubular and U-trough designs minimize dust, spillage and material loss in the processing environment.

Industrial screw conveyor for oilseed material handling in edible oil plant

Applications in Oil Processing Plants

A rotating helical screw inside a tubular or U-shaped trough moves bulk materials continuously — widely used for oilseed feeding, press cake discharge and integrated plant material flow.

Seed CleaningTransfer cleaned peanut, soybean and sunflower seeds to downstream equipment
RoastingFeed materials into roasting equipment at controlled rates
Oil PressAutomated feeding to screw or hydraulic oil presses
Cake DischargeConvey press cake for further processing or packaging
