Product Details:

Mild Steel Screw Conveyor is often desirable because it covers two operations with one piece of equipment therefore saving space and reducing downtime, maintenance cost, etc. A standard screw conveyor will often operate normally at angles up to 15º with only a small loss in capacity. Beyond that, adjustments and/or modifications are typically necessary.

 

The design is a bit involved and these items should be taken into consideration:

• More horsepower is required for Inclined Screw Conveyors: This is due to both lifting the product and “reconveying” product that falls back.
• Hangers should be eliminated: They create a “dead flow” area that is emphasized with inclined conveyors. This often results in the use of longer screws which require their own design considerations.

Other modifications that Conveyor Eng. & Mfg. often applies based on the situation:

• Tighter clearance between the screw and trough: This is especially true with granular, free flowing products such as dry, refined sugar.
• Higher screw speed: This increases the product’s forward momentum and reduces fallback.
• Shorter pitch screw flighting: This improves the relative angle between the each flight and the conveyed product.
• Use of tubular trough or shrouds: Both act in the same way to surround the screw and prevent product from falling back over the top which tends to occur more as speed is increased.
