The range

Four building blocks from which every material flow is made.

We build to high hygiene standards and offer a wide range: from custom screw shafts and screw conveyors for many applications to low-maintenance conveyor belts in a broad variety of designs. For food products, and equally for your own specific products.

  • Conveyor belts in plastic, metal, hygienic and ThermoDrive designs
  • Screw conveyors vertical, trough-mounted, or as omega, mixing, puréeing or press screws
  • Vibratory conveyors for size grading, separation and lane distribution
  • Screw shafts from 40 mm to 3,000 mm in diameter

01 — Conveyor belts

Your conveyor belt, taken to a new level.

Hygienic, durable, efficient. The belts meet high quality and hygiene standards and can be cleaned quickly – which, in three-shift operation, translates directly into available production time.

02 — Screw conveyors

As versatile as your processes.

Vertical screw conveyors, trough screw conveyors, omega trough screw conveyors, mixing screws, puréeing screws or press screws: every unit is developed and precisely adapted to your product and your production environment.

Thanks to well-engineered design details, the conveying solutions meet high hygiene standards and are easy to clean. They also integrate smoothly into existing controls and automation systems.

03 — Vibratory conveyors

Smooth-running, yet powerful.

Durable vibration dampers and powerful drive motors ensure remarkably smooth running at high conveying capacity.

The even vibration keeps the material flowing continuously, while the robust construction and high-quality components ensure a long service life and minimal maintenance. Even in demanding applications, the conveyors are resistant to faults and blockages.

  • Smooth operation with powerful performance
  • Robust construction and high-quality components
  • Low-maintenance and durable in continuous operation
  • Even, reliable material flow
  • Size grading, separation and fan-out distribution conveyors

04 — Screw shafts

From 40 mm to 3,000 mm in diameter.

In machine and plant construction, a precisely fitting, robustly manufactured screw shaft is indispensable. We manufacture every one to your specifications – from one-offs to series production.

Sourcing Direct From the manufacturer: short lines, high flexibility
Experience 45years in development and manufacturing
Batch size 1 to series One-off and series production
Range 40 – 3,000mm diameter, individually adapted

Modern technology and deep manufacturing know-how produce screw shafts to a high industrial standard, made in Germany. They offer exceptional fatigue strength with minimal wear, designed for use under demanding conditions.

We support you from the first enquiry through technical consultation to delivery. With us, you speak directly to the people who will then manufacture the shaft.

Frequently asked questions

What prospective customers ask us first

We manufacture screw shafts from 40 mm to 3,000 mm in diameter, each to your specifications. Batch size ranges from a single piece to series production.

You buy directly from the manufacturer: you reach the people who go on to make the shaft. Send us your drawing, your product or the conveying task, and you will receive a quotation with a delivery date.

That depends on the product and the task. Conveyor belts are available in plastic and metal, as vertical and Z-belts, as grading belts and in hygienic and ThermoDrive designs (systems: Intralox and ThermoDrive). Screw conveyors are available as vertical, trough, omega, mixing, puree or press screws.

Vibratory conveyors are intended for size grading, separation and lane distribution, and run quietly, with low maintenance and insensitive to faults and blockages. Describe the conveying task to us; we will also say if a simpler solution is enough.

We build to high hygiene standards. The belts can be cleaned quickly, which in three-shift operation translates directly into available production time. On the screw conveyors, well-engineered design details mean they are easy to clean.

Vibratory conveyors are low-maintenance and durable in continuous use, and screw shafts offer high fatigue strength with minimal wear. Please state any specific hygiene requirements of your operation in the enquiry.

Yes. The screw conveyors integrate smoothly into existing controls and automation systems, and they are matched exactly to your product and production environment. We also build conveying technology and fabricated assemblies for any line, even if the plant is not ours.

Screw shafts, belts and wear parts come from our own production and are available for older series too. More under Service & Retrofit.

Next step

We keep your success moving.

Send us your drawing, your product or simply the conveying task. You will receive a quote with a delivery date – and, if in doubt, a note that a simpler solution will do.
