Screw conveyor, commonly known as auger, uses a rotating screw to move materials along a fixed casing groove to convey materials. The screw conveyor is characterized by sealed transmission and simple structure. Screw conveyor is a kind of continuous conveying equipment widely used in metallurgy, building materials, chemical industry, food and mechanical processing departments.
The advantage of the screw conveyor is: the working principle of the screw conveyor is simple. When it works, it relies on the driving force of the spiral blades to smoothly transport the product to the designated location. Therefore, the emergence of the screw conveyor gives It brings convenience to people's production and life. It also has the characteristics of high efficiency and energy saving. Screw conveyors are widely used. Screw conveyors have the advantages of simple structure, low manufacturing cost, strong sealing, safe and convenient operation, etc.
The screw conveyor has a long service life and the process layout of the screw conveyor is flexible. It can be installed on an elevated platform, on the ground or in a pit. It can be installed horizontally or on a slope (≤15°), and can also be installed horizontally and sloped on the same machine. During installation, materials can be fed in and out at multiple points.
Compared with other conveying equipment, screw conveyors have the advantages of small cross-sectional size, good sealing performance, smooth and reliable operation, multi-point loading and unloading, safe operation, and easy maintenance.
