Screw conveyors are generally used for horizontal or low inclination transportation of various powdered or granular materials such as cement, mineral and ore processing, chemical industry, food industry etc. A screw conveyor typically has a U shaped trough with a feed point and a discharge point. A spiral blade like screw is mounted on a central shaft supported by ball bearings at the ends and hangar bearings at suitable distance along its length.   A screw conveyor is generally horizontally supported and can be made to transport long distances is properly supported.

 Screw Conveyors of various sizes, lengths and capacities can be designed and manufactured, however, screw diameters generally range from 100 mm to 500 mm. Some key features of screw conveyors supplied by ASHOKA are-

• Robust design using trough plates with appropriate thickness
• Leak proof enclosed construction for minimal spillage
• Easy to maintain designs with suitable manhole covers
• Low power consumption gear reducers
• Sufficient hangar bearings for proper support and zero bending
• Material Handling Equipment Manufacturers

Belt conveyors are used to convey material for handling equipment horizontally as well as with high inclinations and for long distances in thousands of meters. Specially processed (heat resistant if required) rubber belts are over a series of idlers and rollers for continual movement and transport. Ashoka India Material Handling Equipment Manufacturers,  gear reducer and motorized drive is located at one end of the conveyor.

Conveyors are suitable for belt widths up to 1,500 mm. and capable of handling materials at the rate of 500TPH. Idlers are impact type, toughing, garland idlers which give higher guaranteed output. Pulley is suitable for conveyors of belt width ranging from 300 mm. to 1500 mm. Belts are procured from renowned manufactures.

 Some key features of belt conveyors supplied by ASHOKA are-

• Assembled with Heavy duty steel structures.
• Steel inclinations available
• Heavy duty spherical roller bearings
• Low power consumption through planetary reduction gear box

Some common materials handled include- coal and mineral, mineral ores, Lime, sand, gypsum, cement, clinker, fertilizer, bag handling etc.

Air Slides (Fluid Slide) are used for pneumatic handling of fine, dry material handling equipment like cement, ash, dusts and powder etc. Fluid slides are one the most economical mode of transport, which need very less maintenance. Air slides are basically aeration conveyors which carry fines through a current of low pressure air passed through a porous fabric that is tightly spread across the split face of the rectangular trough.

Material Handling Equipment Manufacturers, Fluid slides are designed with 2 chambers- upper & lower. The upper chamber is used to carry the material and the lower chamber is used to aerate the fabric. Ashoka India Manufacturers the fluid slides consist of special synthetic fabric, high-pressure fan and manual butterfly valves for control of air. Open air slides are also designed and supplied as per process requirement. Ashoka Manufacturers common industrial equipment applications include handling in cement plants, chemical and mineral processing industry, bulk loading of fine material such as on ships etc.

Some key features of air slides supplied by ASHOKA are-

• Low cost installation
• Economical maintenance
• Totally enclosed compact designs

• Design and manufacturing for minimal spillage
