Heavy Duty Flexible Screw Conveyor is a widely used mechanical feeding conveyor equipment for conveying materials in various industries. It is composed of several parts with different structures and characteristics. The following are the basic main components of screw conveyor and their features.
Heavy Duty Flexible Screw Conveyor main Components
Heavy Duty Flexible Screw Conveyor main Components are: Screw blade: It is the core component of screw conveyor, which is used to transport materials. The spiral blade has various forms, such as solid, hollow, variable pitch, etc. The blade thickness and pitch also vary according to different materials, conveying capacity and conveying distance. Shaft: The shaft is the main body of screw conveyor, which provides support and rotation for the blade. The structure of the shaft is usually solid, but hollow shaft can also be used for conveying materials with cooling or heating requirements. Bearing: Bearing is used to support and guide the rotating shaft, which is an important component to ensure the smooth and stable operation of screw conveyor. The selection of bearing type depends on the speed, load, temperature and other factors. Hanger bearing: Hanger bearing is used to support the intermediate shaft of long span screw conveyor, which can reduce the bending deformation and improve the conveying efficiency. The hanger bearing can be fixed or adjustable according to the requirements.
Heavy Duty Flexible Screw Conveyor for Material Feeding Factory Manufacturing process.
Inlet and outlet: Inlet and outlet are the ports for material feeding and discharging, which can be designed as conventional, vertical or inclined types according to the site conditions and material properties. The sealing device can also be installed to prevent material leakage during transportation. Drive unit: Drive unit is the power source of screw conveyor, which can be electric motor, hydraulic motor, diesel engine, etc. The speed reducer and V-belt or chain transmission are usually used to adjust the speed and torque of drive unit. Normally, the screw conveyor machine will equip with the vibro sieving machine for the powder sieving, grading or classiflying functions, or the blender mixer machine, packaging machines for the next powder processing functions.
The screw conveyor is a complex and flexible conveying system, which can be customized and optimized according to the specific requirements of different industries and materials. The understanding of its components and characteristics is essential for the design, selection, installation and maintenance of screw conveyor. Welcome to Contact Us for more info!
