Tubular screw conveyors
for the mechanical conveying of bulk materials
PAUL GROTH tubular screw conveyors for horizontal or ascending mechanical conveying of floury, granular and lumpy bulk materials.
With the appropriate design, tubular screw conveyors can also perform other tasks such as dosing, wetting, mixing and crushing.
Starting with our standard modular-system we adapt the tubular screw conveyor to the product properties, the installation option and other process requirements.

Tubular screw conveyorBasic design
- Motor bracket with geared motor and flexible coupling
- Tubular screw conveyors made of steel: outside painted and inside untreated, or hot-dip galvanised
- Tubular screw conveyors made of stainless steel: bath pickled and outside glass-bead blasted
- Screw thread made of highly wear-resistant steel too
