Material Handling GET Z-Screws Eliminate Wear Good Earth Tools • 150 Industrial Drive • Festus, MO 63028 • USA • +1 636.937.3330 Impact and abrasion in material handling can cost facilities maintenance downtime and damaged equipment and repairs. Transport screws are particularly susceptible. The push face of the screw experiences wear from continuous sliding abrasion and contact with materials such as asphalt, ash, coal, gravel, concrete, ore, grain, or sand. Good Earth Tools works with our customers to develop proven solutions to reduce or eliminate wear. After doubling the wear life on one customer’s material handling screws, for example, GET engineers analyzed and optimized the second generation of Z-Screws to yield more than four times the wear life, and still going!
