Screw Conveyor

Screw Conveyor Manufacturer in Punjab, India

Golden BioFuels  Company has been building material handling equipment for biomass and process plants since 1990. Over these 40+ years, our workshop in Amloh, Punjab has fabricated screw conveyors for clients running pellet plants, briquetting units, and bulk powder handling lines across India. As a screw conveyor manufacturer, we build standard horizontal units along with shaftless screw conveyors, vertical screw conveyors, small screw conveyors for tight spaces, portable screw conveyors for temporary feed points, and stainless steel screw conveyors for food-grade or corrosive material applications.

What a Screw Conveyor Does on Your Plant Floor

A screw conveyor helps transport bulk material, powder, or biomass from one point to another in a process line. The screw conveyor consists of a rotating helical screw contained in a tube or trough. As the screw turns, the process material is moved along the length of the screw. This type of transfer system connects several process machines while providing a low-spill system. This is extremely useful in transferring product between a hammer mill, a pellet cooler, a dryer, and several storage bins.

Open conveyor belt systems allow dust and fine material to get released into the local atmosphere. The exposed material creates housekeeping and fire safety problems. This is particularly true for fine biomass, wood, and agro-waste products. An enclosed screw conveyor system helps to reduce the loss of material and translates losses to cash, especially for a high throughput system.

Types of Screw Conveyors We Manufacture

Shaftless Screw Conveyor

Shaftless screw conveyors completely take out the center shaft, leaving a void helical coil inside the trough. This is an excellent choice when handling sticky, fibrous, or stringy materials such as wet biomass, bagasse, or even shredded waste. Using a center shaft on these materials would cause material tangling and jam the system. We make these coils from a wear-resistant steel to reinforce the screw under a continued load and prevent flexing and loss of pitch. 

Vertical Screw Conveyor

When floor space is limited but you need to lift material between levels, for example feeding a hopper above a pellet mill, a vertical screw conveyor manufacturer needs to get the screw pitch and motor torque right, or the unit struggles to lift material consistently. We size the pitch and drive specifically for the bulk density of your material so it lifts at a steady rate without choking at the base.

Small Screw Conveyor

Not every plant needs a 10-meter unit. For smaller feed points, sampling stations, or low-volume transfer between two machines a few feet apart, we build small screw conveyors sized to the actual job rather than offering only oversized standard units. This keeps your cost and footprint proportional to what you're actually moving.

Portable Screw Conveyor

When your operations involve moving material between temporary stockpiles, seasonal storage, or different bays located on the same level, you can eliminate the need for fabricating new mounting brackets with each relocation by using a portable screw conveyor with a wheeled or skid frame. These have a stable base designed to avoid tipping and excessive vibration during full load operations. 

Stainless Steel Screw Conveyor

For applications where corrosion resistance or hygiene matters, food-grade biomass pellets, certain chemical powders, or humid plant environments, we fabricate the trough, screw, and housing in stainless steel rather than mild steel. This adds upfront cost but removes the recurring expense of rust treatment and panel replacement that mild steel units need in humid Indian plant conditions.

How We Build Your Screw Conveyor, Step by Step

1. Site and material assessment – We ask about the material you're moving (bulk density, moisture content, particle size, abrasiveness) and the actual distance and incline of the transfer path. This decides whether you need a shaftless design, a standard shafted screw, or a vertical configuration.
2. Capacity and sizing calculation – Based on your required throughput in tons per hour, we calculate the screw diameter, pitch, and rotation speed needed. Undersizing here is the most common reason screw conveyors jam or wear out early.
3. Drive and motor selection – We match motor HP and gearbox ratio to your sizing numbers, not a generic standard, so the unit runs at the load it was actually built for.
4. Fabrication – The trough, screw, shaft (or shaftless coil), and end bearings are fabricated in our workshop using steel grade appropriate to your material, mild steel for general biomass, stainless steel where corrosion or hygiene is a factor.
5. Quality check before dispatch – Before a unit leaves our workshop, we run it to check for screw alignment, bearing noise, and weld integrity under load.
6. Installation support – Our team shares mounting guidance and, where needed, visits the site to confirm the conveyor is aligned correctly with the feeding and receiving equipment on either end.

Why Plants Across India Choose Us as Their Screw Conveyor Manufacturer

We've been fabricating biomass plant machinery since 1990, which means our screw conveyors are designed by people who have also built and serviced the pellet mills, dryers, and coolers these conveyors feed into, not by a catalog team working from generic specs. If you're searching for a screw conveyor manufacturer near you in Punjab or anywhere in India, our location in Fatehgarh Sahib district puts us within reach for site visits across North India, and we also ship units to plants further out with installation guidance provided remotely.

Because we build the full range, shaftless, vertical, small, portable, and stainless steel, we size the unit to your actual material and layout rather than pushing you toward a single standard product.

Industries That Use Our Screw Conveyors

Industrial screw conveyors manufacturers like us typically serve biomass pellet plants, briquetting units, rice husk and agro-waste processing lines, sawmills, and bulk powder handling setups in food and chemical processing. If your plant moves any granular or powdered material between machines on a continuous basis, a properly sized screw conveyor usually replaces manual handling or open conveyor belts that lose material and create dust.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a shafted and a shaftless screw conveyor?

A shafted screw conveyor is built with a central rod that runs through the helical screw of the conveyor. This type works best with dry, free-flowing materials. Conversely, a shaftless screw conveyor does away with the rod at the center. Instead, a shaftless screw conveyor is built with open coils designed to deal with damp, fibrous, sticky materials that would jam around the shaft of a conveyor system. 

Do you manufacture screw conveyors in stainless steel? 

Yes. We manufacture stainless steel screw conveyors for facilities that manage food-grade materials and for facilities that work with corrosive powders and operate in humid conditions where mild steel will require a lot of maintenance. 

What size of screw conveyor do I need for my plant?

 We need your required throughput (ton per hour), bulk density of your material, and transfer path distance and incline. With this info our team will work up the diameter, pitch, and motor size for your application 

Do you provide portable screw conveyors that can be relocated within a plant? 

Yes, we build portable screw conveyors mounted on wheeled or skid frames for plants that need to shift material transfer points between different storage or processing areas.

Where is Golden BioFuels  Company located, and do you serve clients outside Punjab? 

Our workshop is in Amloh, Fatehgarh Sahib district, Punjab. We supply and install screw conveyors for clients across North India and ship units with installation guidance to plants further away.

How long does it take to manufacture and deliver a screw conveyor? 

Delivery time depends on the size and configuration of the unit and current workshop load. Contact our team with your specifications and we'll confirm a delivery timeline for your order.
