Vertical Screw Conveyor Applications of vertical screw conveyors are bulk material transporting devices capable of handling great variety of materials which have relatively good flow ability. Flow ability find in a CEMA material classification standard and denotes the degree of freedom of an individual material particles to move past each other. This characteristic is important in vertical screw conveyor operation as the screw helix mounted on a central pipe or shaft, rotates within a fix trough or tube, pushes the material along the bottom and sides, sharing the material in the radial clearance between the helix and trough and causing the material to tumble upon itself as the moving face of the helical flight tends to lift the material.
