The price of a screw conveyor is quoted based on the specific model, size, material, conveying capacity, and specific functional requirements, ranging from $70 to $8,000. There are many types of screw conveyors, including U-shaped screw conveyors (priced between about $100 and $2,000), inclined screw conveyors (priced between about $200 and $3,000), tubular screw conveyors (priced between about $180 and $3,200), and vertical screw conveyors (priced between about $180 and $7,000). They are suitable for conveying materials with various physical properties such as powder, granular, small pieces, sticky or easy to entangle.

What are the prices of different types of screw conveyors?

The prices of different types of screw conveyors vary greatly, mainly depending on their design, material, size, handling capacity, and specific application requirements. Next, we will delve into the specific price ranges of various types of screw conveyors.
 
U-shaped screw conveyors, named for their open U-shaped trough, are usually used for horizontal or small-angle material transportation, which is easy to clean and maintain. Common types include shafted, shaftless and dual-shaft.
 
The spiral blades of shafted U-shaped screw conveyors are fixed on a central shaft. Depending on the model and working conditions, the output of shafted screw conveyors can range from a few tons to hundreds of tons per hour. Its price is about $100 to $2,000.
The shaftless U-shaped screw conveyor has no central shaft and relies only on a flexible spiral body to rotate and push the material in the U-shaped groove. The material is not easy to clog and is easy to clean. The price of shaftless U-shaped screw conveyors is generally higher than that of shafted types due to their special spiral structure and higher manufacturing cost. Its price is about $300 to $2,000.
 
The dual-shaft screw conveyor has two spiral shafts rotating in opposite or same directions. The dual-shaft design can increase the conveying capacity and play a certain role in crushing and stirring the material to prevent clogging and bridging. The dual-shaft U-shaped screw conveyor is a relatively expensive type of U-shaped screw conveyor due to its complex structure and higher drive requirements. Its price is usually between $800 and $2,000. Inclined screw conveyors are usually used to lift materials from a lower position to a higher position, or to convey them in an inclined direction. The inclination angle is generally between 0° and 45°, and the materials are generally carbon steel and stainless steel. In addition, there are mobile designs.
 
The conveying distance of carbon steel inclined screw conveyors is usually between a few meters and tens of meters. For short-distance lifting or conveying (such as within 10 meters), inclined screw conveyors are a common choice. Carbon steel materials can meet the use requirements in general industrial environments. The price of inclined carbon steel screw conveyors depends on the inclination angle, conveying height, conveying capacity, screw diameter and length. Its price is about $250 to $1,800.
 
The conveying capacity of stainless steel inclined screw conveyors is usually from a few tons/hour to tens of tons/hour, and can even reach hundreds of tons/hour, depending on equipment specifications, material characteristics and operating parameters. The price of stainless steel inclined screw conveyors is significantly higher than that of carbon steel types due to the high cost of stainless steel materials and increased processing difficulty. The price is between $500 and $3,000.
 
The mobile inclined screw conveyor is equipped with a mobile base and wheels at the bottom, which can be easily moved between different locations for flexible loading, unloading and transportation of bulk materials. The mobile inclined screw conveyor adds a mobile mechanism (such as wheels, lifting mechanism, etc.) on the basis of the inclined conveyor, so the price will be higher than the fixed type. Its price range is between $300 and $3,000. The tubular screw conveyor uses a closed circular tube as the casing, and the spiral blades rotate in the tube. According to the conveying direction, it is divided into horizontal conveying and inclined conveying.
 
The horizontal tubular screw conveyor is mainly used for conveying powdery and granular materials in the horizontal direction, especially for occasions that require closed conveying, prevent dust spillage, and avoid moisture or contamination of materials. The price of the horizontal tubular screw conveyor is usually between $180 and $2,800.
 
The inclined tubular screw conveyor is similar to the inclined U-shaped screw conveyor, but due to its closed tubular structure, it is more suitable for materials that need to be closed and lifted, prevent dust pollution, or convey materials with a certain fluidity but may be damp. The price of an inclined tubular screw conveyor is slightly higher than that of a horizontal tubular type because it needs to deal with the gravity effect and driving force required when the material is conveyed at an angle. Its price range is about $560 to $3,200. Vertical screw conveyors are mainly used to lift materials from low to high places vertically. They occupy a small area, but have certain requirements for the fluidity and viscosity of the materials. They are suitable for occasions where materials need to be transported vertically to high silos, production lines or packaging equipment. For example, lifting cement from the ground to the top of the silo, or lifting grain to the processing line. The price of a vertical screw conveyor is closely related to the lifting height. The higher the lifting height, the higher the required screw shaft strength, driving power and structural stability requirements, so the price rises in a step-by-step manner, ranging from about $180 to $7,000.

The price of the screw conveyor is affected by many factors, mainly including material (such as carbon steel, stainless steel), diameter and length (determine the conveying volume and conveying distance), motor power, corrosion and explosion-proof requirements, and whether it is customized. In addition, there are many types of screw conveyors, such as shaft screw conveyors, shaftless screw conveyors, double-shaft screw conveyors, carbon steel inclined screw conveyors, stainless steel inclined screw conveyors, horizontal tubular screw conveyors, inclined tubular screw conveyors, mobile tubular screw conveyors and vertical screw conveyors. The prices of different types are different, and the specific prices need to be inquired according to the detailed technical parameters.
