Processing Equipment for Agricultural Products

The growing, harvesting and processing of agriculture products such as corn, rice, soybeans and wheat require the use of many different types of bulk material handling equipment. Screw Feeders, Belt Conveyors, Screw Conveyors and Bucket Elevators are used throughout the process for the conveying and elevating of these products. Silos are used for storage of grains and Slide Gates are used for flow control.

KWS manufactures very cost-effective equipment specifically designed for the duty cycle of the agriculture industry. A large inventory of CEMA stock components including helicoid screws and angle flanged troughs are available for immediate shipment. All KWS CEMA stock components are manufactured to CEMA standards.

Please contact KWS for our freight allowance policy. KWS can offer significant discounts on large stock orders and will pay the freight to your destination.
