螺旋輸送機俗稱食品螺旋輸送機，螺旋提升機等，主要適用于輸送紙箱，周轉箱，桶裝水等大件產品。根據輸送物料的特性要求和結構的不同，螺旋輸送機有垂直螺旋輸送機、水平螺旋輸送機、可彎曲螺旋輸送機、螺旋管輸送機。
　　一般來講，垂直螺旋輸送機的螺旋體的轉速比普通螺旋輸送機的要高，加入的物料在離心力的作用下，與機殼間產生了摩擦力，該摩擦力阻止物料隨螺旋葉片一起旋轉并克服了物料下降的重力，從而實現了物料的垂直輸送。該機輸送量小，輸送高度小，轉速較高，能耗大。特別適宜輸送流動性好的粉粒狀物料,主要用于提升物料，提升高度一般不大于8米。水平螺旋輸送機當物料加入固定的機槽內時，由于物料的重力及其與機槽間的摩擦力作用，堆積在機槽下部的物料不隨螺旋體旋轉，而只在旋轉的螺旋葉片推動下向前移動，如同不旋轉的螺母沿著轉動的螺桿作平移運動一樣，達到輸送物料的目的。該機便于多點裝料與卸料，輸送過程中可同時完成混合、攪拌或冷卻功能。對超載敏感，易堵塞；對物料有破碎損耗，水平螺旋輸送機的結構簡單，便于安裝和維修以及故障處理。適用于水平或微傾斜（20º以下）連續均勻輸送松散物料，工作環境溫度為-20—+40℃，輸送物料溫度為-20—+80℃。其轉速相對于垂直輸送機要低，主要用于水平或小傾角輸送物料，輸送距離一般不大于70米。
