Screw Feeder vs. Screw Conveyor: What's the Difference?

Screw conveyors and screw feeders may look similar, but they serve different roles. A screw conveyor moves material from point to point after it’s introduced at a controlled rate, focusing on efficient transfer.
A screw feeder controls and meters material as it leaves storage equipment like hoppers, bins, or silos, so its design depends on the material’s flow characteristics and density.
In short: a conveyor moves material, a feeder meters it. At BW Sinclair, we design equipment matched to your specific application.
