Our Screw Conveyor Elevators
Prime is a top conveyor manufacturer in Australia. Prime’s screw conveyors are industrially designed to facilitate the seamless movement of bulk materials between designated locations. These conveyors consist of a tube or trough housing a rotating helical screw blade, which effectively transports materials along its entire length. A motor drives the screw blade, applying rotational force to propel the materials forward. Leveraging their versatility, screw conveyors are extensively employed in agriculture, mining, food processing, and manufacturing industries, optimizing material handling and enhancing operational efficiency.
