Trantec puts material testing at the heart of every feeder configuration, allowing even the most difficult powders and bulk materials to be handled reliably. Consistent and efficient material flow starts with understanding your material. At Trantec Solids Handling, they prioritise material testing to identify the ideal screw feeder configuration for each application. By assessing key characteristics like particle size, cohesiveness, and flowability, they ensure reliable dosing and continuous feeding. Why Material Testing Matters? Every material behaves differently, and these differences can directly affect a screw feeder’s performance, impacting consistency, dosing accuracy, and reliability. For example: * Particle shape, size, and distribution – Irregular or unevenly sized particles can cause bridging, segregation, or uneven flow. * Moisture content – High moisture can cause clumping, rat-holing, or sticking inside the feeder. * Cohesiveness – Sticky or cohesive powders may resist movement, causing interruptions in flow. * Flowability – Poorly flowing materials can create uneven feed rates and dosing

Chain and screw conveyors versus belt conveyors. Sinfimasa manufactures chain and screw conveyors specifically for each customer and project. Which bulk material conveyor for which situation? Chain and screw conveyors versus belt conveyors There are several alternatives for conveying bulk materials. The most important of these are screw conveyors, belt conveyors and chain conveyors. Conveyors for bulk material should always be tailored to the situation: the movement path and the characteristics of the specific bulk material. Which type of conveyor is best for each situation? At Sinfimasa, we always say that the most important factor determining the choice of conveyor type is the product to be transported. Before the engineer defines the system, the properties of the product and conditions must be characterised. To mention are: the bulk density, grain size, abrasiveness, corrosivity, the temperature at which it will be transported, the power required, the degree of clumping, hygroscopicity, etc... Depending on the product and the configuration of the process or plant, one device will be better than

Fastest results through perfect harmony between man and machine: C.E.Schneckenflügel takes the next step into the digitalised future with A+B Solutions. Recently, we proved that the perfect combination of man and machine can work wonders. For a client in urgent need, we were able to process an order at supersonic speed: From ”on hold” to ”activated” to ”produced and ready to ship” status took just 48 hours for this massive order of 8.7 tonnes of auger flights. Express delivery This lightning-fast express delivery was made possible by the energetic crew at press 3, which optionally produces high-quality auger blades in three shifts around the clock and rolled up its sleeves with a lot of heart and commitment for this order. But other factors were also involved in the achievement. Last but not least, the impressive storage capacity of the Edewecht plant contributes to the fastest response times.Existing material reserves of up to 400 tonnes of steel can be processed directly without waiting for external deliveries. Automation and digitalisation However, the decisive factor with regard to maximum efficiency

The handling of bulk solids, especially aggregates and other hard minerals requires highly robust and reliable conveyor equipment. Sinfimasa designs equipment based on product properties. Robust equipment The handling of bulk solids, especially aggregates and other hard minerals requires highly robust and reliable conveyor equipment. Its 100% tailor-made manufacturing is the most recommended in this sector to offer to the engineering companies the most suitable components and features for the user’s working conditions and ensure maximum performance and return on investment. Maximum reliability Total adaptation to customer needs means, not only maximum reliability conveyors to reduce facilities downtime, but also the maintenance costs by assembling top quality brands preferred by the user which are freely accessible in the market, as is the case of motor-reducers, bearings, or instrumentation (motion, temperature, deviations sensors). Proven technology Having proven experience and references, as well as a test bench for testing the behavior of the client’s material, will help the success in the design of the conveyor to be manufactured.

When the axis of a screw conveyor is inclined, the capacity falls off progressively. Changing the arrangement of the casing can help. The capacity of a screw conveyor falls off progressively as the axis of the casing is inclined. This is mainly because the dynamic repose slope surface of the material is unchanged and is limited by material carrying over the centre shaft by its rotation to fall back into the prior pitch space so the inclination of the screw flight cuts off an underside section of the material in transit. There is also a small degree of back leakage from the upper region, where the radius of the screw separates from the vertical wall of the casing above the centre shaft level. This effect increases with inclination as gravity supplements the force of the friction of the casing wall restraining the contact layer of the material. Moreover, when the axis of the conveyor is inclined, not only is the geometry of the screw affected, but the sliding angle of material on the flight surface is reduced. The inner region of a screw flight face has a much coarser inclination than at the tip

Reducing of working time by beveling cutting for auger flights Precision beveling cuttings, Variable beveling cutting from 20 to 45 degree

For vertical transport of humid, sticky and hot product a vertical screw conveyor is a good option. This vertical screw conveyor works on centrifugal force combined with the conveying of the screw. By this high speed execution the screw will be emptied, minimal product will be left in de screw conveyor. Alternative is low speed whereby the product by repression vertical is transported. Product is fed by a horizontal screw conveyor. The lift height of this conveyor is 5,5 mtr This conveyor is executed in stainless steel 1.4301 en executed with exhausting hood for release of vapour.
