How to Choose Stainless Steel Screw Conveyor

The stainless steel screw conveyor has a high level of hygiene and is a necessary conveying equipment in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Today, Xiaobian will introduce the selection criteria of the stainless steel screw conveyor:

1. Material requirements

Stainless steel screw conveyor is suitable for conveying corrosive powder, granular and small block materials. In general, its materials can be divided into different types of stainless steel materials such as 304, 304L, 310, 316, 316L, etc., which can be reasonably carried out according to the conveyed materials. For high corrosion materials, choose high-grade stainless steel, such as 316 and 316L stainless steel. If the humidity is relatively high and the corrosion is weak, 304 stainless steel can be selected.

2.Work requirements

Since stainless steel screw conveyors are mainly used in industries with high hygiene levels, the requirements for workmanship are relatively strict. The surface precision is high, the inner hole and outer diameter and helix pitch are accurate, and the machine needs to be strictly polished to make the equipment easy to clean and sterilize in the later use process.

3. Delivery volume

The size of the conveying capacity of the stainless steel screw conveyor directly determines the selection of its model. In the actual selection, the user needs to inform the manufacturer of the output, length or conveying inclination that needs to be conveyed per hour, and the corresponding plate thickness, motor power, and pipe wall thickness. There will be changes, which is convenient for stainless steel screw conveyor manufacturers to provide suitable solutions.

4. Other requirements

The stainless steel screw conveyor can adopt different designs for different application scenarios, such as whether it needs to be lengthened, the conveying inclination, whether the feeding port needs to be equipped with a hopper, the size of the feeding hopper, etc.

The above are the issues that should be paid attention to when selecting the stainless steel screw conveyor, I hope it can help you.
