subject: Screw Conveyors And Their Uses [print this page] A Screw Conveyor is one of the commonly used equipment that is primarily used for the transportation of materials, which is mainly in the granular or liquid form, along a tube by the means of a screw. The compact and modular design of the Screw Conveyors makes them a widely popular product in the agricultural sector, though there are many other uses in various other fields as well. The simple supports used by the Screw Conveyors as well as their efficiency make them a preferred choice.
Construction Of Screw Conveyors
Can have a partially closed structure with U-Section housing or a completely closed structure with pipe section housing which depends on the application
Can have a big hopper which can be fitted at the inlet side for feeding purposes during working
Specially fabricated screw which is assembled inside a long barrel with support from both sides
Having the capability of lifting the powder at an angle of 90 degrees, the Screw Conveyors have one side connected to variable speed drive motor while the other side is free
Fully independent with a self-standing frame
Body has an inlet and outlet side at both the ends which are diametrically opposite
Variable inclination adjustment bracket, which is optional
Uses Of Screw Conveyors
Apart from the agricultural sector, the Screw Conveyors have many other applications in other fields with some of them being the following:
Moving grains from trucks and other vehicles to the storage bins
Used in snow blowers to move snow towards impeller
Used in combine harvesters to move the crop for threshing
Used in ice resurfacers to remove loose ice particles from ice surface
Used as a central component of injection molding machine
Used for forcing food products through dies to form pellets
Used in oil fields for transporting rock cuttings
Used in some pellet fed barbecue grills to move fuels from hopper to the firebox
Used in metal processing units to direct the metal scrap away from working area
