Conveyance Configurations

From precise micro-dosing to high-capacity transfer, we offer auger systems ranging from 1″ to 10″ diameters to suit every application. Whether you need a budget-friendly solution to move just 2 cups of coagulant, or a high-speed system capable of delivering 350 lbs of powder in under 3 minutes, we’ve got the right configuration to match your flow rate, footprint, and budget.

Horizontal Conveyance

Best For:

  • Consistent feed rate control

Advantages:

  • Most energy-efficient configuration

  • Simple to install and maintain

  • Allows multiple inlets/outlets

  • Can integrate with hoppers and bins easily

Use Cases:

  • Transferring dry solids between two points at the same elevation

  • Dosing systems (due to good metering control)

Vertical Conveyance

Best For:

  • Lifting material straight up in tight footprints

Advantages:

  • Maximizes floor space

  • Ideal for transferring materials to elevated bins, silos, or tanks

  • Choke-fed = consistent vertical transport

Challenges:

  • Requires more power

  • Needs controlled feed to prevent fallback

    • Recommended control: continuous feed, choke-fed, VFD, check valve.

Use Cases:

  • Feeding into reactors, mixers, or silos from a hopper

Angled (Incline) Conveyance

Best For:

  • Combining lift and length in one conveyor

Advantages:

  • Compromise between horizontal and vertical

  • Can be gravity-fed or choke-fed depending on angle

Considerations:

  • Efficiency drops as angle increases (ideal: <45°)

Use Cases:

  • Feeding mixers, dryers, or intermediate tanks from floor-level bins

  • Mobile conveyor systems (like bag unloading or batching setups)

Dual-Plane Conveyance

Typically consists of:

  • Horizontal section → for collection, metering, or transfer

  • Vertical section → for elevation to discharge point

Best For:

  • Applications with tight floor space and high discharge elevation

  • Integrating collection, metering, and elevation in a single system footprint

Advantages:

  • Compact footprint 

  • Choke-fed vertical section – consistent flow and minimizes fallback

  • Versatile layout adaptable to a wide range of equipment and plant configurations

Recommended Control Strategy:

  • Install a VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) for smooth start/stop and speed control

  • Include a check valve or slide gate to prevent backflow when system is idle

  • Design for continuous or semi-continuous operation to avoid surging and air gaps

Use Cases:

  • Transferring powder or granules from a ground-level hopper to an overhead silo, batch mixers or reactors 

  • Compact floor footprint
