Astro Metal Craft designs and fabricates custom biofuel screw conveyors and auger systems specifically for the demanding operating conditions found in biomass gasification and biofuel processing facilities. Our experience with material handling allows us to develop conveying solutions that reliably transport a wide range of materials, including: 

• Woodchips & sawdust 
• Bark & green waste 
• Bagasse 
• Agriculture residues 
• Fly ash 
• Dewatered biosolids & sludges 
• Other gasification materials 

Each conveyor is custom designed to meet the specific performance requirements of the application. Feed augers can be engineered to deliver wood waste, agricultural residues, bagasse, and other biomass materials into gasifiers and processing equipment at controlled feed rates. Transfer conveyors move material efficiently between process stages while maintaining consistent material flow throughout the system. Discharge augers are designed to handle hot char, fly ash, and other combustion byproducts as they exit the gasification process, safely conveying materials to downstream cooling, storage, or disposal equipment. 

Custom Screw Conveyor Capabilities 

• Cooling or heating temperature conveyor designs 
• Low-volume and high-capacity conveying systems 
• Dust-controlled and enclosed conveyor configurations 
• Variable-speed drive systems and motor integration 
• Custom inlet, discharge, and multiple-outlet configurations 
• Diverter systems and flow control devices 
• Inclined and vertical screw conveyor designs 
• Heavy-duty fabricated troughs and conveyor housings 
• Abrasion-resistant material and wear liner options 

Because biomass process conditions vary significantly from facility to facility, Astro works closely with customers to understand material characteristics, throughput requirements, operating temperatures, and maintenance objectives. The result is a custom conveying solution designed to provide reliable material flow, long service life, and efficient operation in demanding biofuel processing environments.
