Advanced Technical Solutions at KlinkenbergPrecision in Every Detail: From Design to Execution, Craftsmanship in Every Step

Whether you're new to the screw conveyor industry or have been using them for years, this section is a great place to start when it comes to understanding the different technologies used in combination with screw conveyors. From proper use of bearings and seals, as well as safety and ATEX compliance, to selecting an optimal finish and packaging option — here you'll find answers to all your questions! With these useful resources, you can stay informed about the latest applied technologies and ensure your product meets industry standards – all in one place.

We always select the right technology for the customer’s process, whether it's about materials, seals, bearings, or finishing.

The technologies applied to our designs of screw conveying systems, mixers, agglomerate breakers, dosing screws, and similar equipment are always aligned with the latest technological standards.

A good screw design depends on several factors

When designing screw conveyor systems (horizontal, diagonal, or vertical), a Klinkenberg engineer must consider the various flow characteristics of the powder, granules, flakes, or fibers. All material handling systems start with a thorough assessment of the particles being handled or processed.

Once the flow characteristics of a solid have been quantified, potential flow issues with a given material can be predicted and addressed—preferably during the initial design phase.

Understanding a material’s properties and how to apply those properties is essential to creating a safe, efficient, and trouble-free system.

Rotary Shaft Seal Systems

To seal rotating shafts, mechanical seals perform the sealing function as a machine component—depending on the proper selection of design, material, and operating mode. The specified application limits are always subject to the respective operating conditions.

For every process, you can discuss a shaft sealing proposal to ultimately achieve the best sealing performance.

With so many sealing technologies available, making the right choice isn’t always straightforward. At Klinkenberg, we gladly work with our clients to share our expertise and arrive at the best result.

A Hygienic Screw Conveyor Design

When producing and processing food, it is essential to be aware of safety risks that may endanger consumer health. Klinkenberg provides machines that safeguard this safety throughout the production process. A key part of this is designing Screw Conveyors, Mixers, and other machines with a strong focus on hygiene and cleanability. By adhering to strict standards for Hygienic Design, Klinkenberg machines are easier to disassemble and clean, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses and ensuring full compliance with regulations. By investing in a proper hygienic screw design from Klinkenberg, producers can rest assured that their food products are manufactured safely and with the utmost care.

Design and Applications of Rolling Element Bearings

  • Pillow block bearings
  • Flanged bearings
  • Plain bearings
  • Hanger bearings

Rolling element bearings are also known as anti-friction bearings, as they offer lower friction than plain bearings and require less lubrication. Their function is to support and guide rotating or oscillating machine components such as shafts, wheels, or axles, and to transfer loads between different parts of a system.

ATEX, ISO & VCA

Several certifications exist related to explosion safety, issued by various bodies. In the Netherlands, the European ATEX directive is most commonly used, and the term is often applied as a general reference to explosion safety.

Finishing

Once the digital engineering drawings are submitted to the factory, we begin production. The high finishing standard that Klinkenberg pursues requires optimal coordination between machinery and craftsmanship.

Klinkenberg is equipped with the most advanced and specialized machines. In our in-house production facility (over 3,500 m²), only the best craftsmen with a renowned trade background are at work. Klinkenberg manufactures over 90% of its products internally, ensuring complete quality control.

Welding

Poor welding can leave product residue in gaps or other dead zones, and a rough weld may be difficult or impossible to clean (CIP). If leftover product becomes or is already contaminated, it can subsequently contaminate clean product with microorganisms.

Packaging of Machines and Delivery to the Customer

When purchasing a Screw Conveyor, Lump Breaker, Screw Heat Exchanger, or a Mixer, proper packaging is of course part of the process. Klinkenberg takes care of this for you. But packaging alone isn’t enough—the Tubular Screw Conveyor or Trough Screw Conveyor must also be safely delivered to its destination. Klinkenberg has enjoyed a long-standing partnership with a professional packaging company and road transporter who know exactly how to ensure your valuable machinery arrives safely and securely.
