Screw conveyors are divided into horizontal or vertical screw conveyors from the perspective of the displacement direction of conveying materials. They are mainly used for horizontal conveying and vertical lifting of various powder, granular and small block materials. So how to choose a suitable screw What about the conveyor? Here are 4 tips:
1、transfer speed
The conveying speed can indirectly affect the conveying output of the screw conveyor, so pay attention to this point when choosing. Poor conveying speed control will directly lead to a decrease in conveying capacity. The conveying speed of the screw conveyor should not be too large to prevent the increase of the dynamic load, and the conveying speed of the feeder that is operated at the same time should be determined according to the requirements of the production process.
2、Delivery volume
The conveying capacity of the screw conveyor refers to the amount of material conveyed per unit time. Different types and models of screw conveying capacity are different, and the conveying site conditions of different users are also different, so there are many factors to be considered. In order to reasonably design the model of the conveyor.
3、Member size
Conveyor component dimensions include conveyor belt width, slat width, hopper volume, pipe diameter, and container size. The dimensions of these components all directly affect the conveying capacity of the screw feeder. For example, the larger the diameter of the screw conveyor pipeline, the larger its model and the greater the conveying output. In addition, according to different conveying process requirements, the selection of the size of the screw conveyor components is also different.
4、Conveying length and inclination
The length and inclination of the conveyor line directly affect the total resistance of the conveyor and the required power. Now there are many types of conveyors, some are directly conveyed horizontally, and some are with a certain angle of inclination, so these conditions of use should be explained when selecting a screw feeder.
User selection notice:
The screw conveyor conveys different materials and chooses different materials
Conveying high temperature resistant materials: Conveyors with high temperature resistant materials are required
Conveying materials that need to be cooled: need to choose a water-cooled screw conveyor
Conveying corrosive materials: need to choose 304 or 316L stainless steel screw conveyor
Conveying viscous materials: Shaftless screw conveyors are generally selected according to the viscosity
Conveying powdery materials: choose a shaft screw conveyor
Horizontal conveying of materials: LS/U type screw conveyor is required
Inclined conveying materials: need to choose tubular screw conveyor
The above is an introduction to "how to choose a suitable screw conveyor", I hope it can help you.
