What Is A Twin Screw Feeder Used For?

The twin screw feeder is composed of two screws. It is mainly used when the materials need to be mixed when moving to the destination. This article will explain the application of the twin screw feeder in detail.

Function of twin screw feeder

In addition to conveying materials, the twin screw feeder also has functions such as mixing, stirring, and pushing materials. It is suitable for conveying materials with poor fluidity, large volume or particle size and need to be stirred.

Application of twin screw feeder 

The twin screw feeder is mainly used in the industry of conveying powder and small diameter particles, it usually works in the horizontal direction, and is suitable for feeding under silos, in metallurgical building materials, chemical industry, food machinery and other industries. The processing industry is widely used.

Advantages of twin screw feeder

1. Double shaft design, large output

The two screws rotate through a pair of gears at the position where the shaft extends. The double-shaft blade has a larger conveying flow per unit time than the single-shaft blade. According to the test data, the conveying capacity of the twin screw feeder is 1.5-2 times that of the single screw feeder. .

2. Not easy to accumulate and block

The two seamless steel pipes are respectively equipped with solid screws, and the screw shafts on both sides turn to different directions, which can avoid the phenomenon of material blocking caused by material accumulation.

3. Low cost

When the twin-screw feeder is working, the stirring speed is increased, which is equivalent to the mixer mixing materials at the same time, but the price is lower than that of the mixer, which saves costs.

4. Long service life

The variable diameter structure increases the volume of the hanging bearing, prevents the friction between the hanging bearing and the material, and has a service life of more than two years.

5. Good sealing

All bearings are sealed with multi-layer sealing boxes, and the materials will not overflow and will not be polluted by other dust.

Compared with other conveying equipment, Twin screw feeder has the advantages of stable operation, good sealing performance, multi-point loading and unloading in the middle, safe operation and simple maintenance.
