Augers Conveyors, Screw Conveyors and Food Processing Machinery by Astro Engineering

The food processing industry is expanding at a very fast pace and so are its machinery requirements.This sector requires high quality food processing machinery for cost-effective and efficient food processing and packaging. There are manufacturers of food processing equipment such as Astro Engineering & Manufacturing that specialize in designing and building augers and screw conveyors systems for efficient movement of product.

There is a varied range of augers conveyors and screw conveyors available to cater to different needs of food processors and any other industry requiring conveying of material. When designing a system, there are things that need to be considered such as: what rate of flow is required? How much volume is being moved? What is the consistency of the material? Is there a benefit in a heated or chilled system? Should the material be continuously mixed as it is conveyed? Is extrusion required? What distance needs to be covered? Would easy dismantling for cleaning be an important feature in the design?

These are just some of the questions that the engineers at Astro Engineering and Manufacturing ask and help answer in order to design a first rate system with optimal performance. They have the technology and expertise to customize and manufacture food processing machinery to suit the specific needs of their clients.

Augers and screw conveyors are an important and essential part of food processing machinery. This includes heated augers for cheese manufacturers, and chilled conveying systems for frozen foods. Other food processing equipment manufactured at Astro includes stainless steel conveyor belting, stainless food dryer slats, cheese cutters, vibratory conveyors, hoppers, stainless steel let-down chutes, and more.
