How to collect Sawdust? Screw Conveyor or Belt Conveyor?

What is Sawdust?

It is a by-product or waste product of woodworking operations such as sawing, sanding, milling, planning, and routing.

Strictly speaking, the light and thin characteristics of Sawdust make it have many hazards. Whether it is to recycle Sawdust to make particleboard or wood pulp, or to carry out harmless treatment, it is necessary to collect scattered Sawdust in a centralized manner.

Then, the screw conveyor will be a better choice than the belt conveyor.

We have already mentioned that Sawdust is a fine powder that is easily airborne. Sawdust can be a potential health problem. Sawdust is a known human carcinogen. Certain wood and its dust contain toxins that can cause a serious allergic reaction. And Sawdust is flammable and dangerous.

The advantage of Sawdust Screw Conveyor is to create a completely sealed conveying space, so that Sawdust will not produce secondary pollution during the conveying process.

If you say that the belt conveyor can also be sealed, maybe what you say is reasonable, but the motor and some structures of the belt conveyor cannot be separated from the conveying surface, which will still cause Sawdust to enter it, damage the machine and even cause conveying danger .

Sawdust Screw Conveyor can realize the complete separation of the driving end and the delivery pipeline, and Sawdust cannot enter the structural gap to cause blockage or production hazard.

Of course, when using the Sawdust Screw Conveyor, please be careful not to add too much Sawdust at one time, otherwise it will cause troublesome blockage and repair problems.
