Why Buy Screw Conveyor from India?
For Iraq buyers, Indian-manufactured screw conveyor from VTech Makkers offers specific advantages for material handling:
- Structural Steel Value: IS 2062 / S355J2 channel steel stringers and support structures fabricated in Gujarat — 30-40% below European structural steel pricing. All welding per IS 816 / AWS D1.1 with NDT-tested critical joints.
- Component Integration: Motors, gearboxes, pulleys, idlers, and belt sourced within Gujarat's industrial cluster and assembled at VTech Makkers factory. Single point of responsibility for the complete unit.
- Modular Shipping: Conveyor sections ship in standard 40ft containers with bolted splice joints — field assembly without welding. Commissioning support via video call included with every unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can a VTech Makkers screw conveyor handle?
With Al Faw Grand Port ($5B) driving equipment demand in Iraq, vTech Makkers screw conveyors handle dry bulk materials including cement, fly ash, lime, calcium carbonate, powdered minerals, grain, and wood chips. For wet and sticky materials like filter cake, dewatered sludge, and clay, VTech Makkers fits ribbon flights (open center) instead of standard full flights to prevent material buildup around the shaft. Materials NOT suitable for screw conveyors: sharp crushed rock above 25 mm (use belt conveyors instead), clinker above 200°C (use special heat-resistant materials), and highly corrosive chemicals (use SS316L construction). The enclosed trough design provides complete dust containment — essential for cement plants, mineral processing facilities, and food/pharmaceutical applications where airborne dust is an environmental or quality concern. Three models: VTSC1 (10-50 TPH), VTSC2 (30-100 TPH), VTSC3 (50-150 TPH).
How long do screw flights last on VTech Makkers screw conveyors?
Iraq's limestone and gypsum deposits require equipment that flight life depends on the material and flight material grade selected. Mild steel (MS) flights last 4,000-6,000 hours on cement, fly ash, and mineral powders — the most cost-effective choice for non-abrasive dry materials. AR400 hardened flights extend to 8,000-12,000 hours on moderately abrasive materials like limestone powder, calcium carbonate, and raw meal. SS304 stainless steel flights last 15,000+ hours and are required for food-grade, pharmaceutical, or corrosive chemical applications. The primary wear item is the hanger bearings (intermediate shaft supports) — replace every 3,000-5,000 hours regardless of flight material. VTech Makkers uses split hanger bearing housings that can be replaced without removing the screw shaft, reducing bearing change-out from 8 hours to 2 hours.
What incline angles can VTech Makkers screw conveyors handle?
For Iraq's oil infrastructure operations, standard VTech Makkers screw conveyors operate at inclines up to 30° (VTSC1), 25° (VTSC2), and 20° (VTSC3) — the smaller the diameter, the steeper the allowable incline because material has less tendency to fall back between the flight and trough. For steeper applications up to 45°, VTech Makkers fits half-pitch flights (flight spacing reduced from 1× to 0.5× shaft diameter), which reduces the gravity component pulling material backward. Maximum conveying lengths are 12 m (VTSC1), 18 m (VTSC2), and 25 m (VTSC3) at rated capacity. For longer distances, multiple screw conveyors can be cascaded with intermediate transfer points. VTech Makkers provides layout drawings showing the optimal combination of screw lengths and transfer points for your specific plant arrangement.
Can I import Screw Conveyor from India to Iraq?
Yes. VTech Makkers is an IEC-registered exporter shipping Screw Conveyor to Iraq via Mundra Port — India's largest private port, 180 km from the factory. Transit to Um Qasr Port: 8-13 days. Screw Conveyor ships under HS code 8474 (machinery for sorting, screening, crushing mineral substances). Payment via Letter of Credit (LC at sight) or wire transfer (TT 30% advance, 70% against BL copy). CIF pricing includes ocean freight and marine insurance to Um Qasr Port. Documentation provided: commercial invoice, packing list, certificate of origin, bill of lading, mill test certificates for manganese steel wear parts, and operation/maintenance manuals. VCI anti-corrosion packaging and 40ft container stuffing supervised at factory. Contact our export desk for a delivered-duty estimate to Iraq.
