What is the Auger Conveyor made of?

Auger Conveyor is a kind of equipment used to convey materials from one location to another. It has the characteristics of simple structure, easy installation and commissioning, and low maintenance cost. The components of the screw conveyor will be introduced below.

1. Delivery pipeline

The conveying pipe is the most basic part of the screw conveyor, usually made of steel pipe, carbon steel pipe and stainless steel pipe and other materials. It's usually a helical shape that attaches to the rack frame. When the material enters the conveying pipeline from the inlet, the screw shaft will push the material forward, so that it moves along the pipeline to the outlet.

2. Spiral shaft

The screw shaft is the core part of the shredder, usually consisting of a metal shaft and a helical metal blade. When the screw shaft rotates, the blades will push the material from the inlet to the outlet. The screw shaft usually has two different structures, one is a solid screw shaft and the other is a hollow screw shaft.

3. Transmission

The transmission device is the part that controls the rotation of the screw shaft, and generally consists of a motor and a reducer. The motor is what drives the transmission, while the reducer causes the screw shaft to spin at a slower speed. This will help improve equipment operating efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

4. Conversion device

The conversion device is a part used to adjust the conveying direction and horizontal angle of the screw conveyor. It mainly includes elbows, T-shaped pipes, Y-shaped pipes and other parts, and is usually designed and customized according to actual needs.

5. Brackets and other parts

The bracket is the supporting part of the screw conveyor, usually made of steel structure, assembled plate, cast iron and other materials. In addition, the screw conveyor also includes a hopper, a material inlet, a material outlet and other parts, which can help raw materials enter the conveying pipeline from the material inlet and flow to the material outlet.

To sum up, the screw conveyor is usually composed of a conveying pipeline, a screw shaft, a transmission device, a conversion device and a bracket. These parts need to be carefully designed to ensure the normal operation of the equipment, and the design should be optimized according to the specific task requirements and use environment.
