1.      Working Principle

When the Screw Conveyor operating, the screw will rotating inside the sealing tank, which will force the raw material forward but not rotating together with the screw under the function of material’s gravity force and the friction force with the tank, finally realize the materials’ conveying. Normally, the Screw Conveyer will have various installation types, like horizontal installation, inclined installation or vertical installation. Refer to the vertical Screw Conveyor, the material will moving up along with vertical direction under the function of centrifugal force and friction force with the tank. 

2.      Features

1)     Main features of Screw Conveyor:

•     Easily and compact structure, which will be easy to manage and operating;

•     Stable operation performance, not complicated maintenance with lower cost.

The tank of conveyor is sealing, so will be applicable to using for easy dusting, high temperature (200℃) and strong smell material, which will be good for reduce the air pollution and improve the working conditions.

•     Can be realizing multipoint feeding and discharging.

•     One set of conveyor can be realizing material conveying along with two opposite directions at the same time, which means all along to center or all away from to center.

•     When conveying, the conveyor can be mixing with other technical process like mixing, blending and cooling etc.

•     The conveyor’s tank with higher rigidity, which can be suffering quantitative bending moments force.

2)     The main defects of screw conveyor:

Due to the material’s agitating and friction force between material, screw and tank, the conveying process will have bigger running resistance and power consumption; faster spare parts abrasion will produce more maintenance workload, and then the conveyor is sensitive with overload, which will be easy been blocking.

3.      Application

The Screw Conveyor can be widely used for various industry fields like Construction material, Food, Chemical, Machine manufacture, communication and transportation etc. mainly used for conveying cement, coal powder, mine ore and flour etc.
