Multiflo Screw Conveyors
Screw Feeder for the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries.
The Guttridge Multiflo is a complete Screw Feeder/Conveyor System for use within the food, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. Screw Feeders and Conveyors are used to feed free-flowing materials to process machinery from other conveyors, process machines, storage bins, etc. The rate at which they convey material can be fairly precisely controlled by varying the screw speed – useful where several different materials have to be metered into a mix, for example
Guttridge Multiflo Conveyor Range
The Multiflo tubular screw conveyor is designed for easy cleaning and maintenance – a unique quick release clamping system connects the outer screw tubes, whilst slip-fit joints connect the auger screw sections. The system is robust and ideal for frequent wet or dry cleaning regimes – essential in today’s modern factories. Inlet hoppers and special outlets allow a variety of configurations and machines can be specified as inclined for elevating or horizontal for conveying – making the Multiflo a very versatile machine. Manufactured with contact parts in 316 stainless steel, with a range of different polish finishes.
Materials Supported
Typical applications include feeding packaging machinery, dosing machines, mixers and processing machinery, as well as for hopper discharge applications and the general conveying and elevating of bulk materials around processing and manufacturing plants.

Construction
The Multiflo machine is sturdily constructed using high-quality materials throughout. All components are precision punched and fabricated for ease of assembly and interchangeability.
All contact parts are manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel, with external surfaces polished to a uniform grained finish of 180 grit. Non-contact parts are made from mild steel, with external surfaces powder coated for maximum durability and long life.
The drive system uses a geared drive motor, selected to suit the required screw speed. Motors are rated to IP55 as standard. Conventional flange bearings support the stainless steel drive shaft, which rotates in a packing gland seal to provide an effective seal against most types of products. The tail shaft runs in a nylon bush, ensuring a long, trouble-free life.
Operation
Careful attention has been paid to the design of the Multiflo machine to ensure ease and safety of operation. A single Allen key is the only tool necessary for a typical clean-down operation between batches. The main tube sections are joined by a special tube clamp, providing a strong and secure joint that can be easily disassembled by undoing a single captive set screw.
The drive shaft and screw sections are connected using special slip-fit couplings that require no gudgeon bolts, making disassembly remarkably quick and easy. The Multiflo is designed for horizontal, inclined, or vertical use, but this must be specified at the time of enquiry.
The drive motor mounting has a unique design, allowing the drive to be positioned above, below, or at the side, especially useful where site conditions allow limited space.
