Horizontal and vertical

screw conveyors

Bulk handling

Siwertell screw conveyors can handle dry

bulk materials under tough conditions
Siwertell (formerly Nordstrms) screw conveyors have been a central part in loading/
unloading systems for dry bulk material handling on ships and ashore all over the world
for more than half a century. Numerous installations, undertaken by Cargotec, have
integrated these dependable and cost-efficient components with conveying systems.

Siwertell screw conveyors are designed

to handle a great variety of dry bulk materials, such as cement, lime raw meal,
apatite, urea, fly ash and gypsum, under
hard conditions. For long distance and
high lifting heights, two or more screw
conveyors are arranged in series. When
large capacities are to be handled, the
conveyors can run parallel to each other.
The screw conveyors are completely
enclosed, which reduces dust creation
to a minimum. They have been supplied
to numerous customers for installations

worldwide in e.g. industries, port terminals, ships, silos, and power plants. The
heart of Siwertell screw conveyors is the
easily replaceable intermediate bearing,
specially developed to resist wear.
Siwertell horizontal and vertical screw
conveyors operate with the helical flight
pushing and throwing the bulk material
forward by rotational action. Capacities
range from 30 to 1,700 m/h.

The rigid and heavy-duty construction

of these conveyors reduces wear
and enables easy maintenance at
infrequent intervals. They are suitable for
applications in any kind of environment
indoors and outdoors as well as on ships.
Modular construction ensures swift and
easy installation in new and existing bulk
conveying systems.
