Vertical Screw Conveyor - Lifts/Loads Product Into A Hopper Or Silo

The vertical screw conveyor can lift various bulk materials in the vertical direction. The motor drives the screw to rotate through the reducer, and the material is transported to the predetermined position through the rotation, which is used to lift/load the powder material to the hopper or silo. This article will give you a detailed introduction to the vertical screw conveyor.

Application of vertical screw conveyor

Vertical screw conveyors are an effective way to lift various bulk materials from steep slopes to vertical, ideal for handling dry to semi-fluid materials from free-flowing to slightly flowing, such as grain, oil bran, feed, chemical raw materials, cement, etc.

Working principle of vertical screw conveyor

The feeding method of the vertical screw conveyor is forced feeding. When the conveyor is working, the horizontal and vertical screw and the vertical screw rotate. The feeding screw is fed into the vertical part of the conveyor, and then the vertical screw is used to feed the material in a self-flowing manner. When the conveyor is working, the horizontal feeding screw rotates, and the conveyed material enters from the feeding port. Use the vertical propeller to push the material up to the discharge port for discharge.

Advantages of vertical screw conveyor

1. The vertical conveying height can reach up to 8 meters. When the lifting height needs to be increased, an intermediate hanger or stabilizer bearing is usually required to eliminate excessive spiral deflection.

2. High-power vibrating motor (3.5kw-11kw), high speed (60-140 rpm), ensuring fast and uniform feeding.

3. The conveying pipeline adopts a closed design, which can effectively prevent dust and effectively isolate materials with high hygiene requirements or strong odors

4. Small footprint, convenient loading, unloading and moving, simple operation and convenient maintenance.

The above is the introduction to the vertical screw conveyor. The vertical screw conveyor can lift/load the powder or granular products to the required height according to your conveying height. The feeding is uniform, it is not easy to jam or return, and the floor space is small. , No dust pollution.
