SAFETY NOTICE

The Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association has developed Industry Standard Safety Labels
for use on the conveying equipment of its member companies.

The purpose of the labels is to identify common and uncommon hazards, conditions, and unsafe
practices which can injure, or cause the death of, the unwary or inattentive person who is working
at or around conveying equipment.

The labels are available for sale to member companies and non-member companies.

A full description of the labels, their purpose, and guidelines on where to place the labels on typical
equipment, has been published in CEMA’s Safety Label Brochure No. 201. The Brochure is available
for purchase by members and non-members of the Association. Safety Labels and Safety Label
Placement Guidelines, originally published in the Brochure, are also available free on the CEMA
Web Site at http://www.cemanet.org/Safety/

PLEASE NOTE: Should any of the safety labels supplied by the equipment manufacturer become
unreadable for any reason, the equipment USER is then responsible for replacement and location
of these safety labels.

Replacement labels and placement guidelines can be obtained by contacting your equipment supplier
or CEMA.

 FOREWORD

This publication, CEMA Standard No. 300 “Screw Conveyor Dimensional Standards”, provides recommended di-
mensional standards for major screw conveyor components. All Dimesions and Tolerances are based on Carbon
Steel Fabricaton.

These recommended standards are issued in conjunction with CEMA Standard No. 350 “Screw Conveyors”.

“Screw Conveyors” is a comprehensive manual of engineering and application practice for screw conveyors.

Both publications are intended to be American National Standards.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

In this 2003 edition: No changes from 1999 Edition. This edition is now an American National Standard
