Shaftless Screw Conveyor Machine (Industrial Shaftless Auger & Sludge Conveying System)
A Shaftless Screw Conveyor Machine, also known as a Shaftless Auger Conveyor or Industrial Shaftless Spiral Conveyor, is a specialized industrial material handling equipment designed for conveying sticky, wet, fibrous, semi-solid, sludge-type, irregular, and difficult-to-handle materials using a shaftless spiral screw rotating inside a trough or tubular conveyor body.
About the Shaftless Screw Conveyor
Unlike conventional screw conveyors, shaftless screw conveyors do not have a central shaft, which allows:
- Better handling of sticky materials
- Reduced clogging and jamming
- Higher material carrying capacity
- Efficient sludge conveying
- Smooth transfer of fibrous materials
The machine is widely used in industries such as:
Wastewater treatment plants
Food processing industries
Chemical industries
Recycling plants
Sludge handling systems
Biomass industries
Paper and pulp industries
Municipal waste management plants
where continuous handling of difficult, sticky, wet, or fibrous materials is critical.
The conveyor operates using:
- Shaftless spiral screw
- Heavy-duty trough liner
- Motor-driven gear system
- Enclosed conveying structure
to transport materials horizontally or at inclined angles efficiently and continuously.
Shaftless screw conveyor machines are highly suitable for:
- Sludge conveying
- Sticky material handling
- Waste transportation
- Biomass conveying
- Fibrous material transfer
- Industrial waste handling
ART Mechatronics offers high-performance shaftless screw conveyor machines, engineered for heavy-duty industrial operation, clog-free conveying, low maintenance, and reliable long-term performance.
Working Principle of Shaftless Screw Conveyor Machine
Sticky, wet, sludge, fibrous, or waste materials are fed into conveyor inlet section
Motor rotates heavy-duty shaftless spiral screw inside conveyor trough
Spiral pushes material continuously along conveyor body
Machine conveys:
- Sludge
- Sticky powders
- Fibrous waste
- Biomass
- Food waste
- Industrial waste materials without central shaft obstruction.
Open center design minimizes: Material buildup Clogging Blockage issues
Conveyor body prevents: Leakage Odor spread Material spillage
Material discharged automatically at desired transfer point
