TP and TE-type Screw Conveyors are designed for medium heavy-duty (TP) and extra-heavy-duty (TE) applications.
TP/TE Tubular Screw Conveyors are used for both batch and continuous operation in applications where durability and easy replacement of those conveyor components that are subject to wear are among the main requirements.
Typically this screw conveyor type finds application in minerals processing, glass processing, foundries, cement mills, gypsum and lime production, as well as in the mining industry.
Manufactured from carbon steel with a suitable surface finishing, they are made up from a tubular trough equipped with at least one inlet and outlet spout, an end plate flanged on each tube end, helicoid screw flighting welded on a centre pipe with coupling bush (TP) or flanged coupling (TE) at each end, two end bearing assemblies complete with adjustable shaft seal, and a number of intermediate hanger bearings depending on the overall length of the screw conveyor.
TP/TE Tubular Screw Conveyors are equipped with a gear motor and in most cases with an additional power transmission suitable for the application.
