Using the following steps, in conjuction with the tables and graphs on the following pages, you will be able to design a horizontal screw conveyor for most applications.

If your requirements present problems not covered in this catalog, we invite you to contact our Project Engineers for recommendations and suggestions.

Conveyor Design Steps:

1. Establish the conveying requirements.
2. Identify the material and the corresponding material code.
3. Determine conveying capacity, conveyor size and speed
4. Calculate required horsepower - select motor size.
5. Determine the recommended size of components.
6. Check torsional rating and screw deflection.
