Products & Equipment Range
3 questions09What type of equipment does Cosben manufacture?
We manufacture conveying systems, discharging equipment, dust collection systems, mixing and conditioning equipment, level indicators, vibratory equipment and silo accessories. See the full product range.
10What range of screw diameters is available?
Cosben’s screw conveyors typically range from 114 mm to 620 mm in diameter to suit various capacity needs.
11Are Cosben’s gearboxes and motors compatible with other systems?
Yes. Cosben’s gearboxes and motors are designed to be interchangeable and compatible with most existing screw conveyor setups.
Technical Specifications & Performance
4 questions12Can Cosben equipment handle abrasive materials?
Yes. Cosben’s screw conveyors can be equipped with anti-wear coatings for abrasive applications and are designed with high-performance end and hanger bearings for durability.
13What is the maximum inclination for Cosben’s screw conveyors?
We offer tubular screw conveyors that operate efficiently from horizontal up to 45°, as well as specialised vertical screw conveyors for 90° upward transport.
14Are Cosben’s systems suitable for continuous 24/7 operation?
Yes. Cosben’s equipment is designed for continuous industrial duty with appropriate bearing selection, drive sizing and thermal considerations.
15Can Cosben systems handle sticky or hygroscopic materials?
Yes. Our designs are adapted using appropriate screw geometry, surface treatments, agitation or conditioning to handle sticky or moisture-sensitive materials.
Material Flow, Dust Control & Operational Challenges
3 questions16How does Cosben prevent material blockage and bridging in feeders?
We use advanced design principles considering material density and moisture. For fine powders, we offer fluidisation solutions or specialised mechanical agitation to ensure consistent flow.
17What measures are taken to stop powder leakage and dust emissions?
Cosben’s equipment features high-performance seals, including double-lip and labyrinth structures. We also manufacture integrated dust collectors and pressure relief valves to maintain a clean, compliant workspace.
18How do you handle highly abrasive materials?
For abrasive applications, we apply anti-wear coatings to screw flights and use high-strength materials for shafts to prevent premature wear and failure.
Compliance, Safety & Regulations
3 questions19Are Cosben systems compliant with industrial safety standards?
Yes. Cosben’s systems are designed in line with applicable industrial safety norms, including dust control, pressure relief and mechanical safety requirements.
20Can Cosben’s systems meet pollution control board (PCB) norms?
Yes. Cosben’s dust collection and containment systems are designed to help plants comply with environmental and pollution control regulations.
21Do you provide ATEX-compliant solutions for explosive dust?
ATEX-compliant or explosion-protection features can be incorporated based on project requirements and hazard classification.
Installation, Commissioning & Documentation
3 questions22Does Cosben provide installation and commissioning services?
Yes. We provide on-site erection and commissioning services, along with technical training sessions for OEMs and end users to ensure optimal product performance.
23Do you provide GA drawings and load data before order finalisation?
Yes. General Arrangement (GA) drawings and technical details are shared for approval before manufacturing begins.
24Are operation and maintenance manuals provided?
Yes. Complete O&M manuals are supplied with each system to support installation, operation and maintenance.
Maintenance, Reliability & Service Life
4 questions25How often should I lubricate the bearings?
We recommend a regular lubrication schedule, typically adding grease every 500 to 1,000 operating hours, depending on the material and environment.
26What are the key indicators that my screw conveyor needs urgent service?
Watch for abnormal noise, excessive vibration or a sudden increase in motor amperage (tripping switches), which often indicates bearing wear or material build-up.
27Is it easy to replace wear parts like stuffing boxes or seals?
Yes. Cosben’s designs allow for easy adjustment and replacement. For example, stuffing box strips can be replaced by simply loosening the tightening bolts once the conveyor is empty.
28How can I maximise the service life of my equipment?
Avoid overloading the trough (recommended loading below 45%) and ensure the screw shaft straightness deviation stays within 1/1000.
After-Sales Support & Spare Parts
4 questions29What kind of after-sales support does Cosben provide?
We offer comprehensive support including erection, commissioning and on-site technical training for your operators to ensure peak performance.
30How can I get spare parts quickly?
We maintain a robust inventory of critical spares such as hanger bearings, end bearings and gearboxes at Cosben’s factory in Mumbai, India to ensure minimal downtime for clients.
31Does Cosben offer remote troubleshooting?
Yes. Cosben’s technical team can assist by phone or email for immediate diagnostics. For complex issues, we can schedule a site visit by Cosben’s engineering experts.
