Screw Conveyor

Screw Conveyor

A screw conveyor is a dependable mechanical conveying system designed for the continuous and controlled transport of powders, granules, and bulk solids. It operates by means of a rotating helical screw installed within a tubular or U-shaped trough. Depending on material characteristics and process requirements, screw conveyors can function as feeders, conveyors, or dosing units. System performance is optimized through parameters such as screw pitch, rotational speed, and drive configuration. The enclosed design minimizes dust emissions and improves operational cleanliness. Screw conveyors are widely applied in cement, chemical, food, mining, and mineral processing industries. With robust construction, low maintenance needs, and flexible design options, screw conveyors provide efficient and reliable bulk material handling solutions.
Working Principle:

Screw conveyors consist of a trough, a helical in the trough, a shaft connected to the helical and a drive unit. The axial movement of the helical connected to the rotating shaft carries the materials with a translational movement. The main element in screw conveyors is the helical wrapped around a shaft. The helical shaft is mounted on the helical housing at the beginning and end. If the helical is too long, it should be placed on hanger bearings at intervals. Since the presence of hanger bearings in a helical significantly reduces efficiency and causes blockages in the helicals, the use of hanger bearings should be avoided as much as possible.
