Notes on Selection of Screw Conveyor

2017-04-05
Firstly,the selection of screw conveyor should consider the characteristics of the material transported,including grinding property, viscosity,water content, pH value and other factors,so that suitable models can be designed for different transported material.
Determine the running speed of the screw conveyor according to different materials.The particle size of the material can affect slipping,concussion and abrasion,and the higher the screw rotation speed, the bigger of the material’s slippage.But the speed of the drive shaft speed can not be increased to improve the transport capacity blindly.Because some material will have a greater concussion on the screw blade and increase the wear and tear between screw blade and trough body.In this case, it is necessary to use a larger model machine to improve the transporting capacity effectively,and assemble a screw axis of larger diameter to enhance the Torsion Strength of the tubular shaft, and reduce the number of hanging bearing in order to increase the output of materials.
It is depend on the capacity and the distance of transmission to choose motors of different powers accurately. If the power is low, the material conveying speed is slow accordingly, and the motor is easy to destroyed by excessive load. Vice verse, the production cost will increase.
