10 Screw Conveyor Solutions that Solve for Automation

Mepaco’s screw conveyors are engineered for efficiency, automation, and sanitation in food processing systems. Customizable features include pivoting infeed and chutes for flexible loading, drop-down designs for safe maintenance, and fully enclosed safety covers to prevent contamination. Dual augers support high-volume feeding, while electropolished surfaces and CIP assist improve hygiene and reduce cleaning time. Additional options like CO₂ or heat jacketing maintain product temperature, and clean-sweep hoppers eliminate waste between batches. Surge metering systems with load cells enable precise ingredient control using loss-in-weight technology. These innovations help processors maximize throughput, reduce labor, and maintain consistent product quality in large-scale operations.
