How Does a WLS Shaftless Screw Conveyor Work?
Material Feed: Bulk solids, sludge, or slurry enter through a customized inlet hopper.
Spiral Motion: The shaftless spiral (screw auger) rotates inside a U-shaped trough.
Friction Reduction: The wear-resistant polymer liner reduces drag, increasing efficiency.
Material Transport: The helical motion conveys material to the discharge end.
Discharge: The outlet releases the material for further processing or collection.
Because it lacks a central shaft, the WLS Shaftless Spiral Conveyor allows material to move freely without wrapping, making it ideal for viscous, fibrous, or composite wastes that would jam traditional conveyors.
