What is the best material for screw conveyor?

Screw conveyor is a kind of equipment commonly used in material transportation, which transports materials from one place to another through the rotation of the helical blades. When selecting the material for the screw conveyor, the following factors need to be considered:

Properties of materials: Different materials have different properties, such as viscosity, wear resistance, flammability, etc., which will affect the selection of materials for screw conveyors.

Conveying distance and height: The greater the conveying distance and height, the stronger and more durable the material for the screw conveyor needs to be.

Temperature and Humidity: High, cold or humid environments require special materials to ensure the normal operation of the screw conveyor.

Currently commonly used screw conveyor materials are stainless steel, carbon steel, polyurethane, etc. Among them, stainless steel has the advantages of corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and easy cleaning, and is suitable for industries with high requirements such as transporting chemicals, food, and medicine; carbon steel is relatively low in price, and is suitable for transporting some ordinary powders and granules. and other materials; polyurethane materials have wear resistance and oil resistance, and are suitable for conveying heavily polluted materials. To sum up, the material selection of the screw conveyor should be comprehensively considered according to the nature of the material, the conveying distance and height, temperature and humidity, etc., and the appropriate material should be selected to ensure the normal operation of the screw conveyor.
