There are many different types of screw conveyors, and different types of screw conveyors are different. This article will take you to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of different screw conveyors.
The tubular screw conveyor is a relatively common type of conveyor. The entire transportation process is carried out in a closed circular tube, which is uniform in transportation, not easy to jam, and does not generate dust.
Advantages of tubular screw conveyor:
Ideal for conveying dry or semi-fluid bulk materials in fully enclosed spaces, reducing the threat of hazardous contamination, dust, spills and subsequent waste, can be conveyed from 0 to 90 degrees for flexible movement and transport, thanks to high-quality stainless steel and steel sealing technology, they are easy to install inside and require little maintenance and cleaning.
Disadvantages of tubular screw conveyor:
Conveying distances are limited to 30m, which may limit the efficiency of larger-scale manufacturing processes. Not every type of material can be transported with this type of screw conveyor, and it is best to avoid transporting materials with particles that stick together or have high moisture content or build up in the conveyor belt, which will cause the conveyor to clog.
The U-shaped screw conveyor conveys the product horizontally/with a small inclination angle in the trough with a "U"-shaped cross-section.
Advantages of U-shaped screw conveyor:
The cover of the U-shaped screw conveyor can be disassembled by crushing stone, which is easy to observe. If there is a blockage during use, it can be detected in time and stopped to solve it. In addition, single-point feeding or multi-point feeding can be adopted, and multi-point unloading can also be adopted. material.
Disadvantages of U-shaped screw conveyor:
The conveying volume and conveying angle are limited, and it is suitable for occasions with small angles and small conveying volume.
Shaftless screw conveyors can easily convey bulk materials discharged from centrifuges, filter presses or mixers. Our shaftless design provides a jam-free conveying surface, making difficult-to-convey materials easy to convey.
Advantages of shaftless screw conveyors:
One of the main reasons to use shaftless conveyors is to be able to handle different types of materials, shaftless screw conveyors can convey belts, sticky, wet and bulk materials,
Shaftless conveyors can have higher fill rates, approaching 35%-40%, without the need for hanger bearings. For applications such as live bottom hoppers and metered feeding.
Disadvantages of shaftless screw conveyors:
Shaftless conveyors will require removal and replacement of the lining as it is a wear item. This is often a problem if the screw conveyor is in a high or narrow location.
For longer runs and higher capacity applications, stiffeners will be required on the screw due to screw compression under push loads and elongation under tensile loads.
The double screw conveyor is installed with two screw shafts, one is left-handed and the other is right-handed. The two helical shafts turn in different directions, relying on the helical blades to push the material forward, and the material between the two shafts is alternately rotated and transported back and forth between the helical blades, which can avoid material blockage caused by material accumulation.
Advantages of double screw conveyor:
The two screws rotate through a pair of gears at the shaft extension position, the flow rate of the blade is larger than that of the single screw blade, and the conveying capacity is 1.5-2 times that of the single-shaft screw conveyor.
Disadvantages of double screw conveyor:
Only small volumes can be transported.
Different types of screw conveyors have different characteristics, which determines their different applications. It is recommended that you consider many aspects when choosing screw conveyors.
