Archimedys™ for a 9-meter ATEX20 screw in Spain

Archimedys ™ was chosen by one of our customers in Spain to equip its plant with a 9-meter-long ATEX20 screw. Our customer recovers filtration dusts loaded with metal particles, which are highly explosive. They are residues from zinc treatment. A 9 m long Archimedys ™ screw DN 150 in ATEX20 is installed under three hoppers which in turn feed the conveyor whose role is to transfer these dusts safely to a storage unit.

Our customer decided to replace an existing installation with Archimedys ™ to get away from the recurring problems of breakage and wear encountered with the steel screw. During maintenance operations, several days were needed to carry out a repair. With the modularity of the Archimedys ™ system, only a few minutes are needed.

Archimedys™, the ideal solution for conveyor refurbishment

The need for quick handling by maintenance personnel, rapid installation, recovery of existing elements - these are the main advantages of this new technology. Featuring a simple, compact design, the Archimedys™ screw is lighter than a steel screw. This makes it much easier to install. The screw is built simply, without any welding, by assembling standard modules directly on site. What's more, if damaged, the modules are replaced in the event of an accident. They can then be put back on the axle without having to replace the whole screw.

The technopolymer used in its manufacture is highly resistant to corrosion. Its abrasion resistance is often three times greater than that of steel.

Easy maintenance

In fact, there are countless advantages in terms of maintenance: speed, simplicity, shorter lead times and less downtime!

Archimedys™, a technological revolution!

The advantages of the Archimedys™ modular screw are such that more and more manufacturers are deciding to abandon steel in favor of Archimedys™.

The Archimedys™ modular Archimedes screw was awarded the "Prix de l'Innovation industrielle" in 2011.
