(57) A screw conveyor (100) to convey powdery material, in particular cement. The screw conveyor (100) comprises: – a transfer screw (70); and – a trough (80) containing the transfer screw (70); the trough (80) being provided with an inlet section (81) and an outlet section (82) of the powdery material. The screw conveyor (100) is characterized in that the screw comprises : – at least a first screw portion (TSEC) having a first law of continuous variation of the pitches of the screw (70), which can be graphically represented by means of a first function having in at least one stretch a first derivative other than zero; and – at least a second screw portion (TSEC) having a second law of continuous variation of the pitches of the screw (70), which can be graphically represented by a second function having in at least one stretch a first derivative other than zero. The first law of continuous variation of the pitches (PTC) is different from the second law of continuous variation of the pitches (PTC).
