Screw Conveyors / Augers

Screw conveyors, also known as Archimedean screws, are mechanical transport systems used for the controlled movement of bulk, granular, or powdered materials. Their operation is based on the rotation of a helical screw within channels, tubes, or troughs, allowing the continuous conveyance of material along defined paths.

During operation, constant contact with abrasive materials and stresses generated by continuous flow cause progressive wear on internal surfaces and transport components, compromising the plant's efficiency and reliability over time.

In these contexts, SARO intervenes with anti-wear solutions designed to increase the operational life of augers, protect the most stressed components, and reduce maintenance interventions.

The applications concern in particular:

• Screw conveyors for abrasive materials
• conduits, pipes, and transport tanks
• spires and conveying organs

SARO develops anti-wear measures through the application of:

• Ceramic linings for screw conveyors and internal surfaces – SARCER & SARMOS
• Abrasion-resistant linings for channels, pipes, and tanks – SARMOS
• High-wear-resistant technical components – SAROMAX100
• Supply of auger parts - spirals - SAROMAX100
• supply of complete screw conveyors to customer design – SAROMAX100
• integrated solutions designed for high-abrasion environments

The solutions are developed according to the characteristics of the material being transported, the operating conditions, and the plant's operational dynamics. SARO supports industrial plants by providing anti-wear technical solutions designed for real operating conditions and integrated with various mechanical transport solutions.
