Tubular Screw Conveyors

Economical & robust conveyor design for dry bulk solids.

Mechanically convey dry bulk solids with S. Howes’ robust Tubular Conveyor. Built to handle most non-liquid materials, our tubular units are significantly more robust than flexible tube conveyors. Our Tubular Screw Conveyors feature heavy-duty construction that is built to last a lifetime.

Tubular conveying models provide an economical and effective design that is ideal for single-product use.

Tubular Screw Conveyors can be tested and validated to meet your product requirements in our lab.

Features & Benefits

  • Enclosed tubular housing provides containment of product.
  • Eliminates U-Trough dead space.
  • Heavy-duty design exceeds CEMA standards.
  • Tight Auger-to-Trough clearance
  • Simple adjustment with hydraulic height control
  • Standard bottom mount direct drive
  • Counterbalanced to assure safety
  • Continuous or intermittent auger weld.
  • Caster design for portability.

Engineered-To-Order

Our tubular drag conveyor features a screw drive and will be built precisely for your product application. Rely on S. Howes to customize your conveyor to your exact requirements.

Test Lab & Innovation Center

Your Material Product. Our Thermal Processing Equipment.


Make sure your new process equipment delivers your desired final material requirements.

Lab Testing

Leverage the CPEG Innovation Center and expertise in process engineering to test material product prior to the design or purchase of bulk solids and material handling equipment.

Testing With Rental Units

When material testing in the Innovation Center is not feasible, S. Howes provides rental equipment that can be shipped directly to your site for reliable testing of powder and bulk solids materials.
