Continuity and particulate containment
Continuous movement with sealed conveying
Kleema screw conveyors continuously move powders or granules between process stages, integrating equipment discharge, transfer, and feeding. With lengths of up to 12 meters, their enclosed construction and sealing systems ensure sealed conveying, containing the material throughout its route.
Sizing considers conveying capacity, length, inclination, and material characteristics, including density, abrasiveness, and temperature. These parameters guide the design of the screw flight, construction materials, bearings, seals, and drive, ensuring a configuration suited to operating conditions.

Engineering for continuous, sealed conveying
- Sizing for the processRequired capacity, conveying length, and inclination guide screw flight and drive sizing, considering the material's flow characteristics.
- Sealing throughout the routeCasing, covers, connections, and shaft penetrations are configured for assembly tightness to contain particulate during operation.
- Wear resistanceSelection of screw flight and casing materials and thicknesses considers abrasiveness, temperature, and operating duty, aiming for durability of components in contact with the product.
- Support and maintenance accessBearing and access point locations are defined according to equipment length and configuration, facilitating inspection, cleaning, and maintenance.
In-house manufacturing allows materials and thicknesses to be selected for expected wear. Dimensional and assembly inspections consider alignment, interfaces, and sealing components.
Integration of collection, discharge, and the material's destination
Screw conveyors can be integrated with discharge from filters, cyclones, silos, and hoppers, moving collected material to storage, equipment feed points, or subsequent process stages. Continuous, sealed conveying helps contain particulate and maintain consistent movement.
Main applications
- Removal and conveying of particulate collected in filtration systems.
- Transfer of powders and granules between equipment.
- Feeding process stages that require continuous material movement.
