What type of trough is a screw conveyor?

Screw conveyor is a kind of mechanical equipment with screw as the transmission part, which is mainly used for material transportation in cement, food, chemical, metallurgy, papermaking and other industries. It is an important material conveying equipment with the advantages of simple structure and large conveying capacity. In the process of use, there are many types of troughs for screw conveyors, so different types of screw conveyors are suitable for different conveying materials and occasions.

1. U-groove screw conveyor

U-groove screw conveyors are the most common type of screw conveyor. Its groove type is arc-shaped U-shaped groove. When working, through the rotation of the spiral, the material is pushed forward in the groove. Due to the design of the U-shaped groove, the conveying speed of the material is slow, which is suitable for conveying materials such as flammable, explosive, volatile, and easy to form lumps.

2. V-groove screw conveyor

The V-groove screw conveyor has a V-shaped groove, and its characteristic is that the two sides of the groove are tapered. When the material is conveyed in the groove, it will concentrate towards the center, which can reduce the accumulation at the discharge port. Due to the design of the V-shaped groove, the conveying speed of the material is fast, which is suitable for conveying the material with good fluidity.

3. O-groove screw conveyor

The trough of the O-shaped trough screw conveyor is a circular trough, and the material is pushed forward in the trough. Due to the design of the circular groove, the conveying speed of the material is relatively slow, which is suitable for conveying materials such as flammable, explosive, volatile, and easy to form lumps, and the bucket-type materials are not easy to be worn during the conveying process.

4. Tubular trough screw conveyor

The trough of the tubular trough screw conveyor is a tubular trough, and the material is pushed forward in the trough. Due to the design of the tubular trough, the conveying speed of the material is fast, which is suitable for conveying the material with good fluidity.

In short, for different materials and conveying occasions, the appropriate screw conveyor groove type should be selected to ensure its working efficiency and safety. At the same time, in the process of use, we must pay attention to maintenance and maintenance, and do a good job in the safety management of the equipment to ensure the quality and service life of the equipment.
