Heavy-duty screw conveyor project

Heavy duty screw conveyor project with HARDOX screw flights for maximum lifetime. Complete transportion system with 15 trough heavy-duty screw conveyors. All screw conveyors to be installed in series. BEMA has designed the screw conveyors after receiving the initial layout from the client. See another project for heavy-duty screw conveyors

What is an example of a full BEMA project?

1.  Measurement on-site. BEMA has a 3D scanner camera, which we can bring to the place, where the heavy-duty screw conveyors shall be installed. We make the measurments and go back to the office, where we start the design process.
2.  Desigh phase. In our office we design the screw conveyors in our 3D-CAD system and make sure that they fit according to the scanning performed in the beginning.
3.  Before we approve for production we always send the main machine drawings to the customer and ask for feed-back and eventually clarifications. Sometimes things have to be changed or modified. It is very important that the customer is involved in this
4.  After approvals of drawings, we start the production. Typically production time is 6-8 weeks depending on complexity of the machines. During the production we make quality checks due to the specifications in the design phase.
5.  When all parts of the machines are manufactured, we assemble the machines. A screw conveyor is for the most a one time manufacturing machine. This require a complete assembly to ensure that all parts fit together. In case of minor troubles, we can immediately make the corrections.
6.  No machines are delivered without a trial run in BEMA with power on the gear box. We let the screw conveyor run for 2-3 hours and measure the temperature on the gear box, the bearings and around the pack boxes to check that everything is within the limitations. The customer is always welcome to participate in the FAT, and we often have visitors to look on the machines, before they are shipped.
7.  Finally the project is packed and shipped. BEMA is approved to handle ISPM-15 wood, and we can pack to truck load as well in containers all according to customer requirements.

FAQ – Heavy‑Duty Screw Conveyor Projects

1. What makes a heavy‑duty screw conveyor suitable for demanding materials?

Heavy‑duty screw conveyors are built with reinforced components and wear‑resistant materials such as HARDOX, ensuring long lifetime and stable performance when handling abrasive or high‑load materials. Their robust construction makes them ideal for continuous industrial operation.

2. How does BEMA ensure precise installation in complex environments?

BEMA performs on‑site 3D scanning to capture exact measurements before design work begins. This ensures that every conveyor fits perfectly into the customer’s layout, even in tight or irregular spaces, reducing installation challenges and costly adjustments.

3. What quality checks are performed before delivery?

Each screw conveyor undergoes full assembly and a powered trial run of 2–3 hours. During this test, temperatures on the gearbox, bearings, and pack boxes are measured to confirm that all components operate within safe limits. Customers are welcome to attend the FAT before shipment.

4. Does BEMA handle packing and global shipment?

Yes. BEMA is approved to handle ISPM‑15 wood and can pack equipment for truck or container transport according to customer requirements. This ensures safe, compliant, and efficient worldwide shipment of even large and heavy conveyor systems.
