Martin Offers Shaftless Screw Conveyors
A screw conveyor without a shaft is now available from Martin Sprocket & Gear, Inc. This continuous flight "shaftless" (also referred to as a pipeless) conveyor eliminates the need for intermediate hanger frames, bearings, coupling shafts, coupling bolts, end bearings and end seals and the maintenance headaches associated with them.
Ideally suited for problem applications where wet, sticky, fibrous, large, etc. products are being conveyed, or when full trough loading is desired, the shaftless conveyor can make a significant contribution to increasing uptime and revenue. Operating at low rpm, shaftless eliminates product buildup on pipe common on standard screws, can operate on inclines as well as horizontal and can use side inlets. Particle sizes up to 90% of the flight outside diameter can be handled resulting in a more effective utilization of available space. The flighting is available in a variety of materials, a range of diameters and in many pitches. Successful installations resulting in documented savings include applications in pulp & paper, food processing, waste management, cement, beverage and mining.
Martin Sprocket & Gear was formed five decades ago. From a humble beginning in 1951, an exciting program of manufacturing expansion has led us into the machining, fabrication, forging, casting, powdered metal technology and plastic injection molding of countless power transmission and conveying products. Martin has grown to include manufacturing and sales facilities strategically located worldwide.
Martin's philosophy is simple.."Make a quality product, have plenty of it available and be easy to do business with!" Martin accomplishes this by combining the convenience of regional manufacturing plants with the strength of our distributors.
