Kaolin is a white mineral raw material. Since kaolin needs to be transported from its source to trucks or silos, Kaolin flexible screw conveyor is required to connect these two points for conveying. The equipment can convey materials over distances of 3m-20m; longer distances can be achieved by installing intermediate bearings. The conveying capacity is 0-5-10t/h, and different pipe diameters such as 70mm, 100mm, 120mm, and 140mm can be selected according to the needs of conveying kaolin.

Kaolin Flexible Screw Conveyor Operation

The screw of the Kaolin flexible screw conveyor is typically made of spring steel or stainless steel. Driven by a motor, it provides propulsion and can adapt to curved paths. The conveying angle can be adjusted as needed. The continuous rotation of the screw overcomes the weight of the material, propelling the kaolin along the pipe. The conveying pipe is mostly made of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant PE or PU flexible hose, forming a low-friction contact with the screw to reduce powder adhesion. The thickness of the pipe ensures that it maintains its shape stability during operation and vibration, preventing collapse. The components work together seamlessly, ensuring the kaolin is evenly conveyed to the discharge end within a sealed environment, achieving a low-dust transport process.

Advantages of the Kaolin Flexible Screw Conveyor

Kaolin can be in lumps or powders. During transport, the sealed pipeline of the Kaolin flexible screw conveyor prevents kaolin from escaping, minimizing material loss. Kaolin transport can be carried out both outdoors and indoors, and the Kaolin flexible screw conveyor can handle the complexities of different scenarios. Whether it's horizontal, inclined, or vertical transport, or situations involving multiple bends and inclines, the equipment performs well. The flexible screw conveyor can also transport kaolin in various states, including lumps, powders, dry materials, and slightly moist granules, demonstrating strong adaptability.

Price of the Kaolin Flexible Screw Conveyor

The price of the Kaolin flexible screw conveyor varies depending on the configuration, conveying capacity, length, and material, typically ranging from $7,000 to $3,000. A basic model of Kaolin flexible screw conveyor with a diameter of 50mm, a length of 3 meters, and made of carbon steel costs approximately $8,000-$15,000; a model with a diameter of 75-100mm, a length of 5-10 meters, and stainless steel or wear-resistant lining costs approximately $1,500-$2,200. The price will increase if you choose options such as explosion-proof motors, sealed covers, and dust collection interfaces; the specific model should be selected based on production capacity requirements.

Kaolin Flexible Screw Conveyor Supplier

Dahan Machinery has experience in manufacturing and customization, offering both standard and customized Kaolin flexible screw conveyors. For example, they can provide flexible screw conveyors with the motor mounted at one end or in the middle. Waterproof or dustproof configurations can also be recommended depending on indoor or outdoor conditions. From the hose material and screw material to the pipe diameter, length, and inlet/outlet ports, everything can be designed to meet different kaolin conveying needs.

Kaolin Flexible Screw Conveyor Applications

Kaolin flexible screw conveyors can be used indoors or outdoors. In packaging lines, the equipment can function as a feeder for packaging machines, transporting finished kaolin powder from the finished product warehouse to valve bag packaging machines, ton bag packaging machines, or filling stations. It can also lift and transport kaolin from lower floors to upper floors for storage or processing equipment, making full use of vertical space. When the raw material warehouse and production workshop are separate buildings, a flexible screw conveyor with a protective cover can be used for a sealed connection, enabling cross-building transport of kaolin and avoiding dust and losses associated with truck transport.

The Kaolin flexible screw conveyor is widely used in the ceramics and building materials industry, pigment industry, chemical industry, and rubber industry. The equipment meets dust and explosion protection standards, and its flexibility allows it to perform well both indoors and outdoors. As a short-distance transport device, whether handheld, mounted on a stand, or installed on a truck, it provides various transport solutions for kaolin production.
