High Efficiency And High Capacity Screw Conveyor

Equipment Introduction:

A screw conveyor or auger conveyor is a mechanism that uses a rotating helical screw blade,called a

"flighting",usually within a tube,to move liquid or granular materials.They are used in many bulk handling

industries.Screw conveyors in modern industry are often used horizontally or at a slight incline as an

efficient way to move seme-solid materials,including food waste,wood chips,aggregates,cereal

grains,animal feed,boiler ash,meat and bone meal,municipal solid waste,and many others.The first type

of screw conveyor was the Archimedes' screw,used since ancient times to pump irrigation water.
They usually consist of a trough or tube containing ,either a spical blade coiled around a shaft,driven at

one end and held at the other,or a "shaftless spiral",driven at one end and free at the other.The rate of

volume transfer is a proportional to the rotation rate of the shaft.In industrial control applications the

device is often used as a variable rate of feeder by varying the rotation rate of the shaft to deliver a

measured rate or quantity of material into a process.

Screw conveyors can be operated with the flow of material inclined upward.When space allows,this is a

very economical method of elevating and conveying.As the angle of inclination increases,the capacity of

a given unit rapidlly decreases.
