Small Farm Wheat Flexible Auger Screw Elevator Conveyor
Friday June-27 2025 13:58:27
Small farm wheat flexible auger screw elevator conveyor is a conveying equipment suitable for conveying granular materials such as wheat. It is mainly used for efficient transfer of wheat from harvesting, cleaning to storage or processing. Wheat has the characteristics of weighing about 0.75-0.85t/m3, good fluidity but sensitive to moisture. By rotating in the conveying pipe, wheat will be lifted from low to high (such as storage granaries or processing equipment), supporting horizontal, inclined or vertical transportation.
Its pipe diameter is usually 80-150mm, and the pipe capacity is about 1-5 tons/, which is suitable for short-distance (2.5-15 meters) pipe drying wheat (humidity <14%) to avoid coating or siltation.
Scope of application
Granular grains such as wheat, corn, soybeans, and sorghum
Granular or powdered materials such as mixed feed and premixes
Grain crumbs, by-products such as undersize, etc.
What are the disadvantages of flexible auger screw elevator conveyors for wheat in small farms?
The upper limit of the conveying volume is low: the pipe diameter and spiral diameter of the flexible spiral structure are usually small (common pipe diameter 50-200mm), and the hourly conveying volume is mostly 1-10 tons, which is difficult to meet the rapid conveying needs of large-scale farms (such as a single batch of harvesting volume exceeding 20 tons).
Conveying distance and height are limited: Due to the flexibility of the flexible pipe and the torque of the spiral spring, the conveying length of conventional models generally does not exceed 30 meters, and the lifting height is mostly within 5 meters. If long-distance or high-height conveying is required, the equipment needs to be arranged in sections, which increases the cost and installation complexity.
Sensitive to material form: Suitable for bulk materials such as wheat and corn with uniform particles. If the materials are mixed with straw, stones and other debris, they are easy to get stuck between the spiral and the pipe wall, causing transportation jams or even equipment damage; wet or agglomerated wheat may also block the pipeline due to its high viscosity.
Application of wheat flexible auger screw elevator conveyor in small farms
The application of wheat flexible auger screw elevator conveyor in small farms is extensive and practical. It can efficiently complete the transportation tasks of wheat from storage, processing to feeding, packaging and other links, and adapt to the actual situation of farm space shortage, complex paths and limited manpower.
Grain storage and warehouse transfer: During the storage and transportation of wheat, the flexible auger screw elevator conveyor can transfer the harvested wheat from the ground to the upper silo; transfer wheat between silos for batch storage or warehouse transfer; when clearing the warehouse, it is used as a unloading tool to transport grain from the bottom of the silo to the packaging or loading position.
Wheat bagging and conveying before packaging: It can be used as a feeding device for packaging machines or bagging platforms: wheat can be evenly and continuously conveyed to the packaging port; the conveying height can reach 2 to 3 meters, which is suitable for different bagging or weighing equipment heights.
Suggestions on the selection of small farm wheat flexible auger screw elevator conveyors
Controlling the conveying angle within 45° can achieve higher conveying efficiency; it is recommended to clean stones and impurities in the material before use to prevent damage to the spiral; regularly check the spiral core shaft tension and hose wear to extend the service life. The conveying capacity of the flexible screw conveyor is directly related to the screw diameter. Generally, the wheat operation demand of a small farm is between 0.5 and 4 tons per hour.
