Screw conveyors are widely used in daily life.
First of all, let’s understand the characteristics of the screw conveyor so that it is more convenient for us to choose
The screw feeder has a novel structure and technical indicators. The advanced head and tail bearings are moved outside the shell. The middle hanging bearing adopts rolling sliding. The two interchangeable structures are equipped with a dust-proof sealing device and a cleaning device at the discharge end. The whole machine has low noise, strong adaptability, convenient operation and maintenance, and flexible placement of the inlet and outlet. Once again, let’s take a look at the various parameters of the screw conveyor
Conveying capacity The conveying capacity of the screw conveyor refers to the amount of material transported per unit time. When conveying bulk materials, it is calculated based on the mass or volume of materials conveyed per hour; when conveying pieces of items, it is calculated based on the number of pieces conveyed per hour. When matching with vibrating screen equipment such as linear vibrating screen, rotary vibrating screen, ultrasonic vibrating screen, etc., it is necessary to calculate the feeding amount of the vibrating screen to control the conveying amount. Before most conveyors are designed and produced, it is necessary to consider whether they can be used with other production equipment in order to rationally design the conveyor model. Conveying length and inclination angle The length and inclination angle of the conveyor line directly affect the total resistance of the conveyor and the required power. Nowadays, there are many types of conveyors, including direct parallel feeding and some with a certain inclination angle. Therefore, these usage conditions should be stated when selecting a screw conveyor. Component size The component dimensions of the conveyor include conveyor belt width, slat width, hopper volume, pipe diameter and container size, etc. The dimensions of these components directly affect the conveying capacity of the screw conveyor. Conveying speed: Increasing the conveying speed can improve the conveying capacity. When the conveyor belt is used as the traction element and the conveying length is large, the conveying speed increases day by day. However, high-speed running belt conveyors need to pay attention to issues such as vibration, noise and startup braking. For conveyors that use chains as traction components, the conveying speed should not be too high to prevent increased dynamic loads. The conveying speed of the feeder for process control at the same time should be determined according to the production process requirements. The screw conveyor motor can choose an adjustable speed motor or an ordinary motor to control the conveying speed and the conveying volume per hour. Whether to add a hopper to the feed port and the size of the feed hopper.
However, the screw conveyor also has some shortcomings of its own. For example, the screw feeder is not suitable for conveying perishable, sticky, and caking materials because these materials will stick to the screw during transportation and rotate accordingly without moving toward the screw. Move forward or form a blockage of material at the hanging bearing, causing the screw machine to not work properly. I hope that understanding these can be of some substantial help to your purchase.
