Introduction of screw conveyor

Screw conveyor is a kind of machinery that uses a motor to drive spiral rotation and push materials to achieve the purpose of conveying. It can be transported horizontally, obliquely or vertically, and has the advantages of simple structure, small cross-sectional area, good sealing, convenient operation, easy maintenance, and convenient closed transportation. Screw conveyors are divided into shaft screw conveyors and shaftless screw conveyors in the form of conveying. In appearance, they are divided into U-shaped screw conveyors and tubular screw conveyors. Shaft screw conveyors are suitable for non-viscous dry powder materials and small particle materials (for example: cement, fly ash, lime, grain, etc.), while shaftless screw conveyors are suitable for conveyors with viscous and easy-to-wind materials. (For example: sludge, biomass, garbage, etc.) The working principle of the screw conveyor is that the rotating screw blade pushes the material to be conveyed by the screw conveyor. The force that prevents the material from rotating with the screw conveyor blade is the weight of the material itself. The frictional resistance of the screw conveyor casing to the material. The spiral blade welded on the rotating shaft of the screw conveyor has solid surface, belt surface, blade surface and other types according to the different materials to be conveyed. The screw shaft of the screw conveyor has a thrust bearing at the end of the material movement direction to give the axial reaction force of the screw with the material. When the length of the machine is long, the middle hanging bearing should be added.
