Screw conveyor, a shortcut to improve production efficiency

With the continuous development of science and technology, more and more mechanical equipment has been applied to industrial production, and screw conveyor is one of them. So what exactly is a screw conveyor? What are its characteristics? How to improve production efficiency?

1. What is a screw conveyor?

A screw conveyor is a material conveying device that uses a continuously rotating screw to transport material from one place to another. Because the spiral rotates in the tube, it has strong sealing performance, can effectively prevent the leakage of dust and pollutants, and plays a very important role in keeping the environment clean and hygienic. In addition, the tubular screw conveyor can also convey at various angles such as horizontal, slope, and inclination, which is suitable for various production occasions, and can convey materials at multiple angles and directions.

2.The characteristics of the screw conveyor

Simple structure

The screw conveyor uses a rotating screw as a tool for conveying materials. The overall structure is simple, and only a few parts are needed to complete the material conveying process, and it is also more convenient to maintain;

High conveying efficiency

The screw conveyor has the characteristics of long conveying distance and large conveying capacity. Under certain conditions, the conveying efficiency of the screw conveyor is higher than that of other conveying equipment;

Strong adaptability

Different industries have different requirements for materials, but the screw conveyor has the ability to adapt to different materials. It can transport powdery, granular and lumpy materials, and has low requirements on the physical properties of the materials such as viscosity and humidity, and is very suitable for use in various production scenarios.

3. Application of screw conveyor

Building materials industry

Screw conveyors are widely used in the material conveying process in the building materials industry. For example: the transportation of cement, lime, gypsum, concrete and other materials, making industrial production easier and more convenient;

Chemical Industry

As an important material conveying equipment in the chemical industry, the screw conveyor is widely used in the conveying process of powder and granular materials. For example: the transportation of common materials such as alumina, dolomite, and caustic soda;

Food industry

Since the screw conveyor does not have high requirements on the material and will not damage the shape and structure of the material, it is also widely used in the food industry. For example: the transportation of feed and baked goods can ensure the quality and hygiene of food.

In addition, there are other applications of screw conveyors, for example, they can be used to transport garbage, waste water treatment, fertilizer production and other fields.

In short, the screw conveyor, a shortcut to improve production efficiency, is widely used in petrochemical, chemical fertilizer, cement, building materials, grain processing, light industry, food and other fields, and plays a very important role. The screw conveyor has become an indispensable conveying equipment in modern industrial production due to its high efficiency, simple structure and wide adaptability.
