Swedish term or phrase: skruv
"skruv" is of course screw in English.
But what is a "horisontella skruv" or "botten skruv"

text: moved with "tre skruv transportörer, en horisontell, en vertikal och en reversibel." And then "matas" with a the horisontella skruv.

screw (worm) conveyor
Explanation:
Gullberg gives "skruvtransportör" (ONE word) as: screw (worm) conveyor, helical conveyor or feed worm, so it is perhaps not as simple as skruv=screw. A vertikal skruvtransportör is a "vertical screw conveyor" (surprise!!). The links below have a good range of names for these conveyors so you should find what you're looking for there.
